Disinhibition
the abolition of internal inhibition in the cortex of the brain’s large hemispheres under the influence of a new, extraneous stimulus. The concept of disinhibition was introduced by I. P. Pavlov. Excitation arising at a point on the cortex of the large hemispheres under the influence of an extraneous stimulus radiates through the cortex, takes over other points of the cortex, including inhibited ones, and abolishes the inhibition, transforming it to excitation. For example, a conditioned food reflex abolished by repeated use of a conditioned stimulus unaccompanied by an unconditioned one (that is, not reinforced with food), manifests itself as soon as a new, previously unused stimulus is added to the conditioned stimulus. Disinhibition may also result from positive induction. The phenomenon of disinhibition may also be observed in other parts of the central nervous system. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Such bucolic disinhibition is the radical antithesis of Paris' manicured urban condition, but architects R & Sie(n) (punningly pronounced 'heresy') actively relish all manner of tensions, whether between nature and architecture, purity and corruption, attraction and repulsion. During the study, Kristal and colleagues developed a Mindful Eating Questionnaire, a 28-item survey that measured a variety of factors like disinhibition - eating even when full; awareness - being aware of how food looks, tastes and smells; external cues - eating in response to environmental cues, such as advertising; emotional response - eating in response to sadness or stress; and distraction - focusing on other things while eating. There are worries of risk compensation and sexual disinhibition if people think they are not infectious, however. |
