Thought is delayed in reaching its goal because of excessive and unnecessary detail, but it does get there. When the word choice is dictated and connected by sound (rhyming) rather than appropriate meaning unshakeable belief in something untrue The person believes their thoughts are able to be heard by other people around. Incoherent mixture of random words and phrases. Repetition of ideas or words, even when the person tries to change topic Experience of a person when their chain of thought suddenly, and unexpectedly stops, even mid sentence. Misinterpretation of a real stimulus, mixing of false and true perceptions A perception without an object Deviates from initial train of thought but never gets to it goal; it drifts from one point to the next The person believes that thoughts that are not their own have been inserted into their mind.
