Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different type s of auditory stimulation on reports of auditory hallucinations at the time of the experiment. The results showed that self-reports by seven schizophrenic patients of auditory hallucinations were reduced by dif ferent types of auditory stimulation, particularly by listening to pop music. Requiring the subject to read a passage aloud also reduced the levels reported. This study was a replication of one by Margo, Hemsle y & Slade (1981) who reported similar findings.
