The aim of this study was to investigate why requiring hallucinating schizophrenic subjects to read aloud produces large reductions in reports of auditory hallucinations. In Expt 1 hallucinating subjects (N = 9) were required to sort cards quietly into one, two, four, 13 and 26 piles. It was shown that the large reductions in the reports of hallucinations produced by reading aloud could not be accounted for in terms of the information content of the task. In Expt 2 the subjects (N = 7) were required to place the cards into one or two piles quietly or whilst saying the colour of the card aloud. Sorting cards into two piles whilst saying the colour of the card produced the largest reductions in the reports of hallucinations. It was concluded that it was the requirement to make overt motor and verbal response that produced the large reductions in reports of auditory hallucinations in the reading-aloud task.
本研究的目的是调查为何要求患有幻觉的精神分裂症患者大声朗读会使幻听报告大幅减少。在实验1中，要求患有幻觉的受试者（N = 9）将卡片安静地分成1、2、4、13和26堆。结果表明，大声朗读所导致的幻觉报告大幅减少无法用任务的信息内容来解释。在实验2中，要求受试者（N = 7）将卡片安静地或在大声说出卡片颜色的同时分成1或2堆。在大声说出卡片颜色的同时将卡片分成2堆，幻听报告减少得最多。研究得出结论，在大声朗读任务中，正是做出明显的运动和言语反应的要求导致了幻听报告的大幅减少。
