Inner speech models of auditory verbal hallucinations: Evidence from behavioural and neuroimaging studies
Abstract
A range of psychological theories have been proposed to account for the experience of auditory hallucinations in patients with psychosis. Influential amongst these theories are those implicating the defective monitoring of inner speech. Furthermore, self-monitoring and inner speech models have been the most studied using functional imaging. The aim of this article is to review the behavioural and neuroimaging evidence for the impaired monitoring of inner speech in patients who experience auditory verbal hallucinations. A comprehensive literature search was conducted for research investigating inner speech and cognitive self-monitoring models of auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia. The evidence is critically discussed and directions for future investigations are suggested.

In the citing paper
“the hallucinations associated with psychosis may be better understood as a failure to attenuate the sensory consequences (corollary discharge) of self-made acts; for example, a failure to attenuate the auditory consequences of sub-vocal or inner speech (Frith et al., 1998; Allen et al., 2007).”
From The Computational Anatomy of Psychosis (2013) · cites this paper as Allen et al., 2007
In the citing paper
“volume reduction and abnormal activation of the left superior temporal gyrus are reported to be associated with auditory hallucination in schizophrenia (Allen et al., 2007).”
From NODDI in clinical research (2020) · cites this paper as Allen et al., 2007
In the citing paper
“Others have linked hallucinations to a failure to attenuate the sensory consequences of inner speech, in analogy to the mechanism that is thought to underlie delusions of control.42,124,135”
From Are hallucinations due to an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory influences on the brain? (2016) · cites this paper as [135]
In the citing paper
“Several authors have also related auditory hallucinations to an over-saliency of the inner speech (considered a covert motor action), which is misattributed to an alien source (McGuire et al., 1995; Allen et al., 2007; Moseley et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
