One suggested mechanism is brain activation that is similar to verbal imagery but occurs without the proper activation of the neuronal systems that are required to tag the origins of verbal imagery in one's mind. Such neuronal systems involve the supplementary motor area. The supplementary motor area has been asso...

Verbal memory deficits commonly observed among patients with schizophrenia include the tendency to commit intrusion errors (i.e., the incorrect recall of task-irrelevant material). Intrusion errors have been linked to deficits in self-monitoring, increased positive and disorganized symptoms, and poor executive functioning in these individuals, but such associations are inconsistent across studi...

The neural correlates of verbal self-monitoring were examined by measuring the response to alterations in auditory verbal feedback while subjects read aloud. Six normal subjects were studied with PET, using H2(15)O as a tracer of regional CBF. There was no difference between the temporal cortical response to reading aloud (and hearing one's own speech) and reading silently while hearing the wor...
