That’s a great word for some types of hallucinations. But some things that are called hallucinations may not be memory errors.

- singingfish 2y agoPlease can you give an example of what might not be a memory error. Not that I think "memory error" is the right phrase either.
- dkasper 2y agoI was thinking along the lines of answering with correct information but not following the prompts. Maybe this could be considered confabulation also.
- singingfish 2y agoMy view is that hallucination is something related to the interpretation of reality. It's not really directly mapping to memory at all. The mechanisms of confabulation entirely surround the gluing together of memories, and what are these models other than some sort of representation of memory. I believe that you can also cause something a bit like a transient dysphasia by giving them bad inputs as well, so there is that on the language production side. However there's still nothing that pertains to the experience aspects central to what hallucinations actually are.
