The paper presents major cognitive hypotheses of delusion formation and maintenance. Relevant findings of empirical studies of attentional bias, ‘theory of mind’ deficits, probabilistic reasoning biases, and self-serving causal attributions in people with delusions are reviewed. Some limitations to existing research are discussed.
