suggestion / influence


Explanation:
"Fremdusuggestion" is used in Germany as opposed to "Autosuggestion", and I reckon any suggestion that doesn't come form one self (i.e. is "auto") must be, by default an "external" one - doesn't need extra mentioning.
If autosuggestion has been mentioned before, then you could just say "other suggestons" or "external influences"
