“…In a recent experiment, we found that fantasy proneness may also be involved in reports of hallucinatory experiences obtained during the White Christmas paradigm (Merckelbach & Van de Ven, 2001). In that exploratory study, fantasy proneness, but not scores on the Launay-Slade Hallucination Scale (LSHS: Launay & Slade, 1981) predicted undergraduates' reports of hallucinatory experiences. One possible explanation for this is that the White Christmas task capitalizes on a response bias to endorse and report bizarre symptoms rather than on the presence of genuine schizophrenia-like experiences.…”

“…They reasoned that if hallucinatory experiences were related to vivid mental imagery, participants reporting such experiences would perform poorly on signal-detection tasks due to a lowered sensitivity for external signals. Participants were assigned to a hallucination or control group on the basis of their scores on an instrument measuring the predisposition to hallucinate (Launay & Slade, 1981). However, the authors found no difference in perceptual sensitivity between both groups.…”

“…Next, participants were asked to complete the Schizotypal Personality Scale-A (STA: Claridge & Broks, 1984; see also Rawlings, Claridge, & Freeman, 2001), the LSHS (Launay & Slade, 1981; see also Levitan, Ward, Catts, & Hemsley, 1996), the shortened version of Bett's Questionnaire upon Mental Imagery (QMI: Sheehan, 1967), and the Creative Experiences Questionnaire (CEQ: ).…”

“…De hecho autores, como Slade, Bentall, Strauss, etc. (p.ej., Bentall, 1990;Launay y Slade, 1981;Strauss, 1969) plantean que existe un continuo entre experiencias alucinatorias y no alucinatorias. El juicio y la discriminación de la realidad presumiblemente sea una habilidad que admita grados en su precisión, como de hecho lo demuestra el que se puedan producir fracasos de estos procesos en individuos normales.…”

La Realidad Virtual (RV) se está empezando a considerar como una importante herramienta para la investigación en muchos y muy variados campos. Actualmente, los progresos en el desarrollo de esta tecnología están yendo incluso más rápido de lo que podemos anticipar, por lo que reflexionar sobre sus potenciales usos y abusos resulta algo totalmente necesario. Este trabajo se centra en analizar algunas de las aplicaciones e implicaciones que la RV puede tener para la Psicopatología. Obviamente, éstas pueden ser muy diversas, pero aquí nos centramos sólo en tres: a) La RV como un contexto de laboratorio «realista» donde estudiar comportamientos, emociones, pensamientos, etc., problemáti-cos; b) la RV como un modelo para abordar algunas preguntas centrales, que desde siempre han intrigado a los psicopatólogos; y c) la RV y posibles experiencias ¿psicopatológi-cas?. Creemos que la RV se puede constituir en una herramienta que permita a la Psicopatología retar y modificar posiciones teóricas establecidas, a la par que plantearse otras nuevas. Esta nueva forma de experiencia, a la vez que puede ayudarnos a encontrar respuestas a viejas preguntas, puede también hacer surgir otras nuevas en el horizonte psicopatológico y psicológico, y no sólo relacionadas con cuestiones teóricas o empíri-cas, sino también morales. Este camino de investigación no ha hecho más que empezar.Palabras clave: Realidad virtual, psicopatología, juicio de realidad. Psychopathology and virtual realityVirtual Reality (VR) is becoming an important tool in the research on many and various fields. Today, the progresses in the development of this technology are going even faster than we expected, and therefore it is being necessary to think over its potential uses and abuses. This paper focuses in the analysis of some of the applications and implications of VR on Psychopathology. Although we are plenty aware of the broad range capable of being covered, we have focused on: a) VR as a «realistic» lab setting where problematic behaviours, affects, thoughts, etc. could be studied; b) VR as a model to deal with certain core questions which have always been of interest for psychopathologists; and c) VR as experiences open to be labelled as psychopathological. We believe that VR has the potential of becoming the tool that will enable Psychopathology to challenge and to modify theoretical assumptions already established, as well as to help US to find new answers to oíd questions. VR could also make new questions rise on the psychological and psychopathological horizons, questions not only related to theoretical or empirical issues, but also to moral ones. This line of research has just started.Key words: Virtual reality, psychopathology, reality judgement. INTRODUCCIÓNQue la Realidad Virtual (RV) será una herramienta muy importante para la investigación en muchos y muy variados campos creemos que es algo difícil de poner en duda.

“…Consistent with the strong association with trauma, models of voice hearing often propose that these events are on a continuum with normal experiences, such as vivid daydreams and thoughts (Launay & Slade, 1981;Slade & Bentall, 1988). But, at its more extreme end, this continuum may involve externalising biases (i.e.…”
