Detailed explanation-1: -“Loose associations” is a psychological term to describe a lack of connection between ideas. This can manifest in speech as an individual moving quickly from one idea to an unrelated one in the same sentence, expressing a random jumble of words and phrases.
Detailed explanation-2: -In psychiatry, derailment (aka loosening of association, asyndesis, asyndetic thinking, knight’s move thinking, entgleisen, disorganised thinking) categorises any speech that sequences of unrelated or barely related ideas compose; the topic often changes from one sentence to another.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of Loose Associations A person with loose associations speaks sentences like these. “I like to dance, all people have hands.” “I like to play games because the river is flowing down a mountain.” “The weather is sunny, the monkey has a long tail.”
Detailed explanation-4: -’Derailment (Loose Associations, Flight of Ideas)-A pattern of spontaneous speech in which the ideas slip off the track onto another one that is clearly but obliquely related, or onto one that is completely unrelated… At times, there may be a vague connection between the ideas; at others, none will be apparent.
