Symptoms of disease - violation of thinking

Thinking is the process of simulation of systematic relations of the surrounding world on the basis of unconditional provisions, However, in psychology there are many other definitions. For example - the highest stage of processing of the information of the person or animal, the process of establishing relations between objects or phenomena of the surrounding world; or - a process of reflection of the essential properties of the objects, as well as ties between them, which leads to the emergence of the concepts of objective reality. Thinking is the highest form of reflection of the objective reality in the consciousness of man. This generalized carried out by means of words and indirect available knowledge of the reflection of reality. Disputes over the definition continues to this day.

In psychopathology and neuropsychology thinking assigned to one of the RFT. It is regarded as an activity which has a motive, goal, a system of actions and operations, result and control.

Which diseases there is violation of thinking

Violations of the dynamics of thinking.

1. The acceleration of thinking («racing thoughts») Conditionally per unit of time is formed more associations than normal, and the suffering of their quality. Quickly successive images, views, opinions, conclusions extremely superficial. The abundance of the ease of new associations, spontaneously arising from any stimulus, is reflected in the speech of products, which may resemble the so-called gun-speech. From continuously speaking patients sometimes lose their voice, or if he becomes hoarse, whisper. In General, the acceleration of thinking is mandatory derivative manic syndrome of different Genesis (affective disorders, schizophrenia, drug abuse, etc.)

Leap ideas (fuga idearum). This extraordinary acceleration of thinking: thought process and voice products continuously flowing and rides; they disconnected. However, if this speech recorded on a tape recorder and a scroll at a slow pace, you can specify in it a certain meaning, which never happens with true incoherence of thought. In the basis of racing ideas - high lability cortical processes.

Characteristic:
- Fast Association, high distractibility, expressive gestures and facial expressions.
- Not violated analysis, synthesis, and understanding of the situation.
- Little thinking about the answer.
- Easy to correct mistakes, if they specify.
- The Association of the chaotic, random, not decelerate.
- Accessible to a generalized sense of job, can do it at this level, if you will not be distracted.

2. The inertia of thinking Effects: nausea, poverty associations. The most pronounced slowdown of the associative process in an absolutely «empty head, in which thoughts do not appear». The questions of patients respond to a one-word answer and after a long pause (the latent period of the speech reactions increases in comparison with the norm in 7-10 times). The overall objective of the thinking process continues, but switching to the new target is extremely difficult. Such violation is usually typical for epilepsy («primary violation»), epileptoid psychosis, manic-depressive syndrome, but may occur at apathetic and asthenic conditions, as well as in light of degrees obscuration consciousness. Patients can change their way of work, change the course of judgments, switch to another type of activity. Characterized by slowness, stiffness, poor strong. Solution of the problem is available, if you are only one in a certain way. The inertia of the ties of the past experience leads to a decrease in the level of generalization.

3. The inconsistency of the judgment. The unsustainable way of performing a task. The level of generalization is not reduced. Analysis, synthesis and assimilation of instructions secured. Understand portable meaning of Proverbs, metaphors. The adequacy of judgments unstable. Alternate between the right and wrong way to accomplish a task.
• 81% of vascular diseases
• 68% of the trauma
• 66% of the TIR
• 14% of schizophrenia (in the period of remission)

When unexpressed the extent of the disease such inconsistency judgments amenable to correction. It is often enough to attract attention, so that the patient recovered. Vibrations arise with any changes of the conditions of the order.

4. «Responsiveness» In patients with severe cardiovascular diseases. Instability of the manner of implementation of the tasks and related fluctuations mental achievements take a grotesque character.

Example: after the classification of the patient suddenly begins to relate to the pictures, as to real objects: trying to put the card with the ship, as if you put - sink. Such patients may not be targeted in place and time. They are not critical to your own state. Don't remember the names of loved ones, important dates, name of the doctor. It broken, can be free. Behavior often ridiculous. There are no spontaneous utterance.

These violations are different dynamic. Over a short period of time the nature of the judgments and actions of the patients varies. Is characterized by the increased responsiveness to different stimuli in the environment, to them, is not addressed. Sometimes interlace-to-speech the surrounding objects.

Creates a forced trend without selection reflected in the speech of all that is perceived. Fast responsiveness on external random stimuli is combined with bad switchable. In earlier works phenomenon responsiveness been described as the field behaviour.

We should distinguish between responsiveness and distractibility (in children). They have a different Genesis:
- responsiveness - a consequence of the reduction of the level of activity of the cortex; promotes the destruction of purposeful activity.
- distractibility is a consequence of the intensified orienting reflex, high activity of bark. Education of large numbers of temporary links - the basis of further targeted activities.

5. Slippage. Properly solving any task and adequately reasoned about any subject, the sick suddenly stray away from the right thought process on a false, inadequate Association, and then again able to continue to talk consistently, not repeating mistakes, but not correcting her. It is characteristic for rather preserved patients with schizophrenia. Sliding sudden, incidental. Looking for bride abroad? Find best ukrainian brides over 40 for marriage online. Best ukrainian dating sites for chat. In the associative experiment often appear random Association and the Association for harmony (mountain-sea).

The process of synthesizing and to divert is not broken. Be able to properly synthesize the material correctly allocate essential attributes. However, for some period of time the right course of thinking they have violated due to the fact that patients in their judgments begin to be guided by random, irrelevant in this situation signs.

Violations of the operational side of the thinking in mental illness.

1. Reduction of the level of generalization. In the opinion of patients is dominated by the direct representation of objects and phenomena; operation of the common symptoms of is replaced by establishing specific links between objects. Can take away the signs, which most fully reveal the concept.
• 95% mental retardation
• 86% of epilepsy
• 70% of encephalitis

2. Distortion of the process of generalization. Reflect only the random side events, significant relationships between objects little taken into account; the substantive content of things and phenomena are not taken into account. More common in patients with schizophrenia (67%) and psychopaths (33%).

The process of generalization is due to the fact that patients are not governed by culturally accepted relationships between objects. So the task of the fourth-once a patient can merge table, a bed and a wardrobe calling their volumes, limited wooden planes.

Violations of the motivational component of thinking.
1. The diversity of thinking. Violation of thinking, identified as “diversity”, lies in the fact that the opinions of the patients about some phenomenon occur in different planes.

Patients can properly absorb step. They can summarize the proposed material; updated their knowledge of the subjects may be adequate, they compare objects on the basis of material, reinforced the past experience of the properties of objects. However, patients do not fulfill the tasks in the desired direction: their judgments occur in the different channels. It's not about the full, characteristic of the thinking of a healthy human approach to the phenomenon, in which the actions and judgements remain driven by the aim, terms of reference, units of the person.

When the inconsistency of the judgments of patients for some period of time are deprived of the opportunity to correctly and adequately reasoned. Patients unite the objects in the course of performing the same task on the basis of the properties of the objects, on the basis of personal tastes facilities. These data are in line with many of clinical data. The analysis of medical records of these patients, the observation of their behaviour in life and hospital revealed the inadequacy of their vital installations, the paradox of their motivations and emotional responses.

The behavior of patients with deviated from the conventional standards. The patient could not take care of their loved ones, but he was an increased concern about the “diet” of her cat, another patient could leave his profession and her family on deprivation, spent the whole day to arrange things before photoobjective, as, in his opinion, “the vision of the different points of view leads to the expansion of mental horizons”.

2. “Logic-chopping”. Even clearer is the role of the amended personal relations in the structure of the kinds of pathologies of thinking, which is indicated in a psychiatric clinic as logic-chopping. Logic-chopping - the tendency to empty arguments.

It is a disorder of thinking is determined by clinicians as “a tendency to sterile philosophising” as a trend toward unproductive long-winded arguments. Logic-chopping is to psychiatrists as the violation of thinking. The diversity and logic-chopping speech find their expression in speech, which had become, in the words of clinicians, the nature of the “incoherence”. Analysis of the samples of “torn” speech leads to the following conclusions.

Firstly, in a rather lengthy statements of the patients there is no reasoning; patients pronounce a number of phrases, but do not tell them any meaningful thoughts, set no, even if false, the relationship between objects and events.
Secondly, in a speech patients cannot find a particular object of thought. For example, a patient calls a number of objects - air, matter, the artist, the origin of man, red blood cells, but in his saying there is no semantic object, there is no logical subject to. The passages can not be put into other words.
Thirdly, patients are not interested in the attention of the interlocutor, they do not Express in his speech, no attitude to other people. “Torn” the speech of these patients is deprived of essential characteristic of human speech signs, it is neither a tool of thought or a means of communication with other people.

Logic-chopping and the cohesion speech the most characteristic of schizophrenia.

The most qualitatively expressed frustration of thinking is nonsense.
Nonsense - not corresponding to the reality of representation and reasoning, in the falsity of which pathologically convinced in the correctness of the subject it is impossible to believe otherwise. Its contents can be most diverse: delusions of persecution, poisoning, jealousy, greatness, etc. From the ordinary human error nonsense differs as follows:
1) it always occurs on the basis of painful, it is always a symptom of the disease;
2) the person is fully convinced in reliability of their erroneous ideas;
3) the delusion is not amenable to any correction, any dissuade with the parties;
4) delusional beliefs have to be patient extreme importance, one way or another affect its behavior.

Obsessive States (obsessions) - it is a kind of an experience, when a person against his will arise some thoughts, fears, desire, action, doubt (for example, obsessive hand-washing, the fear of the number “3”, etc.)

On the classification of violations of thinking B. V. Zeigarnik, logic-chopping (along with the versatility and disruptiveness) belongs to the category of violations of motivation and personal component of thinking.

Insensitivity is loss of focus thinking, superficial, incomplete thinking, thinking ceases to be a regulator of human activities.
