An increase of some reaction tendency by the removal of some inhibiting influence upon it (e.g., the increased strength of a frog's spinal reflexes after decapitation).
Behaviour which is socially inappropriate involving anger, boastfulness, possibly swearing, possibly inappropriate sexual advances, etc.
Freedom to act according to one's inner drives or feelings, with less regard for restraints imposed by cultural norms or one's superego; removal of an inhibitory, constraining, or limiting influence, as in the escape from higher cortical control in neurologic injury, or in uncontrolled firing of impulses, as when a drug interferes with the usual limiting or inhibiting action of GABA within the central nervous system.
Freedom to act according to one's own feelings or drives, with less regard for restraints imposed by cultural norms or one's own conscience.
The freedom to act out behaviors on the internet that would normally be suppressed in face-to-face communication.
Inability to suppress (inhibit) impulsive behavior and emotions.
in this context, poor restraint in response to life situations. This is often coupled with the word disorder, as in disinhibition disorder. Someone with disinhibition problems is often seen as impulsive.
impaired ability to restrain from acting on an impulse or desire.
Inability to suppress (inhibit) impulsive behaviour and emotions.
a lack of normal inhibition that contributes to many maladaptive characteristics of brain injury survivors such as carelessness in hygiene and dress, use of inappropriate words or gestures, and excessive talkativeness
the removal of an inhibitory effect. A greater freedom to act in accordance with inner drives or feelings and with less regard for restraints dictated by cultural norms.
Unrestrained behavior resulting from a lessening or loss of inhibitions, or a disregard of cultural constraints. One who exhibits disinhibition reacts impulsively and often inappropriately.
A loss of social conventions which leads to behaviour which is inappropriate to the social setting, such as overfamiliarity, type of clothing, sexual behaviour and speech.
Difficulty in controlling urges and impulses to speak, act or show emotions.
Release of excitatory neurons by inhibition of inhibitory neurons ( Chs 6, 28).
Disinhibition is a neurological process which results in the production of a behaviour. There are always a great number of ways an animal or individual could behave. Most of these options will be inhibited at any one time, while one particuarly salient one should ordinarily be disinhibited.
