AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hallucinations are where you hear, see, smell, taste or feel things that appear to be real but only exist in your mind. Get medical help if you or someone else have hallucinations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hallucinations refer to the experience of hearing, seeing or smelling things that are not there. Often, these can be as intense and as real as sensory perceptions. There are different types of hallucinations. Hearing voices speaking when there is no-one there is known as an auditory hallucination.

Detailed explanation-3: -A pseudohallucination (from Ancient Greek: (pseudḗs) “false, lying” + “hallucination") is an involuntary sensory experience vivid enough to be regarded as a hallucination, but which is recognised by the person experiencing it as being subjective and unreal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Auditory hallucinations, or paracusias, are sensory perceptions of hearing in the absence of an external stimulus. Auditory hallucinations can refer to a plethora of sounds; however, when the hallucinations are voices, they are distinguished as auditory verbal hallucinations.
