Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Echolalia is the repetition of words or phrases spoken by someone else. This is a common symptom in individuals with schizophrenia. Loose associations refer to a disorganized pattern of thinking and speech, delusions refer to strongly held beliefs that are not based in reality, and neologisms are made-up words or phrases. None of these options accurately describe the behavior of constantly repeating what others say.
