False claims are a key feature of confabulation, delusion, and anosognosia. In this paper we consider the role of motivational factors in such claims. We review motivational accounts of each symptom and consider the evidence adduced in support of these accounts. In our view the evidence is strongly suggestive of a role for motivational factors in each domain. Before concluding, we widen the focus by outlining a tentative general taxonomy of false claims, including false claims that occur in clinical settings as well as more garden-variety false claims, and incorporating both motivational and nonmotivational approaches to explaining such claims.
虚假陈述是虚构、妄想和疾病感缺失的一个关键特征。在本文中，我们探讨动机因素在这类陈述中的作用。我们回顾了对每种症状的动机性解释，并考量了支持这些解释的证据。我们认为，证据有力地表明动机因素在每个领域都发挥了作用。在得出结论之前，我们拓宽视野，概述了一个关于虚假陈述的初步通用分类法，包括临床环境中出现的虚假陈述以及更为常见的虚假陈述，并纳入了动机性和非动机性的方法来解释此类陈述。
