A single non-verbal behavior can be treated as a cue, and a combination of cues gives rise to inference about deception. For example, liars usually lean back and avoid to face the interrogator directly when they are talking. Turning away from the interrogator at an angle of more than 45 degrees is typically regarded as a deception cue. [16]
In psychiatry, derailment (aka loosening of association, asyndesis, asyndetic thinking, knight's move thinking, entgleisen, disorganised thinking [1]) categorises any speech comprising sequences of unrelated or barely related ideas; the topic often changes from one sentence to another.

[1] In circumstantiality, apparently unnecessary details and seemingly irrelevant remarks cause a delay in getting to the point. [2]
"TRACE was the first model that instantiated the activation of multiple word candidates that match any part of the speech input." [4] A simulation of speech perception involves presenting the TRACE computer program with mock speech input, running the program, and generating a result. A successful simulation indicates that the result is found to ...
Under the influence of social psychology, especially social identity theory, communication accommodation theory are guided by mainly four assumptions. There are speech and behavioral similarities and dissimilarities in all conversations. The way we perceive the speech and behaviors of another determines our evaluation of the conversation.
Therapy speak can be associated with controlling behavior. [3] [9] It can be used as a weapon to shame people or to pathologize them by declaring the other person's behavior (e.g., accidentally hurting the other person's feelings) to be a mental illness, [3] [10] as well as a way to excuse or minimize the speaker's choices, for example, by blaming a conscious behavior like ghosting on their ...
