Parrott and Koralus argue that a particular cognitive factor--"impaired endogenous question raising"--offers a parsimonious account of three delusion-related phenomena: (1) the development of the Capgras delusion; (2) evidence that patients with schizophrenia outperform healthy control participants on a conditional reasoning task; and (3) evidence that deluded individuals "jump to conclusions". In this response, I assess these claims, and raise my own questions about the "erotetic" theory of delusional thinking.
帕罗特和科拉卢斯认为，一个特定的认知因素——“内源性提问受损”——为三种与妄想相关的现象提供了一种简洁的解释：（1）卡普格拉妄想的形成；（2）精神分裂症患者在条件推理任务上的表现优于健康对照参与者的证据；（3）妄想个体“急于下结论”的证据。在本回应中，我评估了这些说法，并对妄想思维的“ erotetic ”理论提出了自己的疑问。
