Abstract

Individuals performing poorly on tasks of sensory feedback reception endorse significantly higher rates of hallucination experiences, as measured by the Revised Hallucination Scale, and schizotypy, as measured by the Multidimensional Schizotypy Scale, relative to individuals who perform well on these tasks. These findings support the corollary discharge theory of psychosis.
