Auditory verbal hallucination mechanisms: testing self-monitoring account in schizophrenia.

Intervention	Possible outcomes	Commentary
Disrupt self-monitoring	Worsening of existing AVH	As self-monitoring posits loss of function, it is unclear that disruption of self-monitoring during discrete AVH episodes provides relevant outcomes
	Increase in types of experienced AVH (e.g., inner speech)
		Further disruption of self-monitoring should lead to increase in AVH, but with predicted expansion of the type of AVH experienced (e.g., inner speech)
Remediation of monitoring deficits	Decrease in frequency of AVH	An ideal intervention of targeted remediation of self-monitoring during discrete AVH episodes in patients is currently unavailable
		General remediation studies have shown positive effects in AVH, but more studies are needed
