four-factor model of hallucinations
- four-factor model of hallucinations
A hypothetical model for the mediation of * auditory hallucinations proposed in or shortly before 1976 by the British psychologist Peter D. Slade. The model identifies four important antecedents of hallucinatory behaviour, comprising psychological stress, * hallucinatory predisposition, environmental stimulation, and reinforcing consequences for the *hallucinator.
