Describing the Light: Attribution Theory as an Explanation of the Near-Death Experience
Article exploring near-death experiences and attribution theory, which focuses on how information is used to create causal inferences and answer causal questions.

Examining various descriptions of NDEs demonstrates how attribution theory explains individuals' descriptions of their NDEs.
