Associative disorder

Introduction Lenovo refers to the psychological process of thinking about or recalling something, and thinking about other related things (that is, another concept caused by one concept). The essence of association is conditioned reflex, which is a neural connection established by the fact that things often appear simultaneously or sequentially. Lenovo includes close to Lenovo, similar associations, contrast associations, relationship associations, free associations, and control associations. The most commonly used approach to association, the things in association are close to each other in time or space. Controlling association is the direction of actively controlling Lenovo, and the association with a certain goal. This association is limited by the level of knowledge and the agility of thinking. In contrast, free association is a natural association without any control. Because of the different knowledge and experience of each person, the associations produced by the same thing are different, and free association is more common in children. The internal language used by people in the association process is concealed, short and fragmented, and may be inconsistent. If the implicit language is directly expressed or expressed in the explicit speech, the association process of Lenovo can be expressed as a barrier to association. If you can't abstract the abstract according to the inherent characteristics of things. It is impossible to distinguish things correctly, not to classify things correctly, and there will be digressions in the process of approaching association.

There are the following symptoms to make a guess:

1. Looseness of associations: Also known as asyndetin thinking or desultory thinking. It means that patients with a clear sense of consciousness, with a group of somewhat connected thinking to replace clear thinking, rigorous thinking, thinking activities lack the theme, content and structure are scattered, can not concentrate Lenovo on what he wants to explain On the question. Although every sentence is complete and fluent, the meaning is understandable, but the context before and after the statement lacks connection. Sometimes the sudden and unrealistic implicit concepts in the conversation make it difficult to understand what it is meant to express. Although the confusion of this narrative was requested by the examiner to clarify, the patient still could not make it clear.

2. Splitting of thought: In the absence of intellectual impairment, disturbance of consciousness, emotional agitation, and emotional excitement, the patient's speech is characterized by a lack of connection between sentences and sentences. The sentences themselves are complete. If you look at each sentence in isolation, the meaning is completely understandable. There is no major mistake in grammar and wording, even impeccable, but there is a clear lack of coherence in the structure of the thinking association. And logic, there is a lack of understandable connection between sentences and sentences.

3. Incoherence of thinking: Also known as word salad. It means that the patient's speech lacks thinking. The association and structural coherence and logic are not only unrelated between sentences, but also the subtle grammatical structure in speech is also confusing. There is no connection between phrases or words, forming a pile of unrelated words. Many are accompanied by disturbances of consciousness at different degrees.

4. Tangeniality: Also known as the talking past the point, Germany also calls it vorbeireden. It refers to an incomplete digression of schizophrenia patients in conversation. The patient's answer is often tied to the question, but then it is digression, and then it will be repeated again and again. Although it is not relevant, it is not unrelated. The metaphor for this phenomenon is that it is scratching the ball. This disease is more schizophrenic than pure "nonsense" because it is difficult to disguise.

Differential diagnosis

(1) Schizophrenia: loose association, broken thinking, and divorced contact are the characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia. Inconsistent thinking is rare. In addition to thinking disorder, it is accompanied by perceptual, emotional, and behavioral abnormalities.

(B) mental damage caused by organic brain damage or physical illness: relatively inconsistent thinking, often accompanied by disturbances of consciousness. There is a clear disease process. When the disease progresses to affect brain function, schizophrenia-like manifestations may occur. In addition to the above symptoms, there may be hallucinations, emotional disorders, and the like.

(3) Mania: In the case of acute manic episodes, there may be inconsistencies in thought or rupture of thoughts. It is characterized by disordered speech, high volume, fast speech, and high voice. The inconsistency and rupture of thinking is nothing but The superficial phenomenon is the essence of thinking. Because Lenovo is too fast, a concept has not yet been fully expressed and transferred to another concept. If you record your words and analyze them in detail, you can find the connection between sentences and sentences.
