What Is Latent Inhibition?

"Latent Inhibition" comes from a Chinese version of "Prison Break" in some versions. It was co-founded by psychology research experts from the University of Toronto and Harvard University in 2003. The paper was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in September of that year. , Low-risk depression, latent depression, latent depression, etc., but should be translated as "low latent depression".

Low Latent Inhibition (LLI or Decreased Latent Inhibition, DLI)

Low Latent Inhibition (LLI or Decreased Latent Inhibition, DLI) is a mental illness. Generally, people will keep things that have no direct effect on themselves out of the scope of thinking, and patients with low-potential depression will deeply think about it. Some people are inherently particularly sensitive to environmental stimuli and are more likely to receive and process more comprehensive information in less time than ordinary people. Because low-potential depression can trigger a series of patients' fantasy, the depth of imagination is very large. Patients with a lower than average IQ or younger age may be triggered because they cannot afford this degree of imagination.

Patients with low-potential inhibitors are concerned about all the small things, from the life of their neighbors to changes in the world's political situation due to the huge content of their imagination and the constant expansion; from the chemical structure of medicines to the structure of buildings. This can lead to illnesses such as mental weakness in patients with poor constitution.

For example, when a patient sees a road, he will quickly and deeply think about what direction the road leads to, or the scene when the road is paved. Another example is a series of appearances that ordinary people observe what color an ant will see, a few feet, and crawling. What they saw was the internal structure of ants, muscle groups, neural nets, and so on. You will also see through spatial imagination, thinking combination, and brain information screening, see what it may eat, the movements of food, how food moves from the mouth to the inside, and so on. How this ant was egged, composed of protein, water, and so on. Actually, it s not true that the eyes suddenly saw it, but just when their eyes conveyed the image to the brain, the brain appeared

From primary to secondary, there are the following common situations:

1. The breadth of information sources is beyond ordinary people. It can draw information from everywhere in life and has the ability to touch the bypass.

2. Certain types of information make individuals think deeply and are compulsive.

3. Strong abstract thinking ability.

4. Because the information in life is contradictory, the individual will judge and integrate the information according to the direction of the subconscious mind through the logic of whether it is logical or not.

5. Analysis of things, more inclined to penetrate the surface and penetrate into the essence.

6. Individual way of thinking is extremely energy intensive. Headache and dizziness are often associated with childhood and youth.

7. Self-feeling No one knows you thoroughly, and what has never been shown to others are self-created other roles.

8. Emotional expressions are not true. Emotions are often dealt with in a depressive manner rather than a venting one.

9. Have a better impression of the opposite sex who needs to provide more information about themselves.

10. My own emotions are less expressed, but my ability to perceive external emotions is extremely strong.

If you meet 8 of the above 10 items, it means that you may have Low Latent Inhibition (non-diagnostic criteria, for reference only)

Note: There is basically no information about LLI in current medicine. In other words, it is impossible to prove whether an individual does have LLI.

This condition is not completely unrecoverable. It must undergo medical and psychological treatment to achieve an inner self-openness and acceptance, so that they can be truly relieved. The chance of complete cure is not high. Most of the treatment is still dependent on the patient Yourself. Maintaining a stable mind has a more positive effect on the disease. Some of the tougher patients (high IQ, strong-willed people) are mostly more powerful than ordinary people in their ability to calculate, create, and logically think, but they will lose some of the balance of normal thinking and normal life. (Usually the creators of a certain aspect are low-level subconscious repressors, and the average person's subconscious repressive power is seven times theirs.) This will directly cause him to lose the joy of life! When you should be scared and surprised, there is no such expression at all; watch some suspense movies, and you know the end just from the beginning; from the appearance, language, and movement of a person, you can thoroughly analyze the precise personality, life, habits, etc. ; (The processing of these information analyses is their potential formation, that is to say fully automated, normal people have no such burden of "automation").

Regarding synesthesia, the above mentioned seems to be able to "understand" people's thoughts, probably because of synesthesia and

Genetics may have certain hidden elements in it, combined with the influence of growing environment, and personal life experience creates this rare chance. Often he will bring many induced diseases to patients. The most common are autism, complex thinking disease,

This phenomenon is neutral in itself, good and bad, as much as money depends on the person who owns it. It means that some people are inherently particularly sensitive to environmental stimuli, can produce broader thinking, and are more likely to receive and process more comprehensive information in a shorter time than ordinary people. If a "potential patient" with low potential depression can control his own brain, that is, he has sufficient willpower and control, then he is a genius. Otherwise, if he cannot control it and the problem collapses, he becomes a lunatic.

In fact, the boundaries between genius and lunatic are inherently blurred. In fact, "low potential inhibitory disease" is not a disease in itself, and only people with low IQ levels will have danger when they have this characteristic. Like a computer's central processing unit (CPU), once a low-speed CPU is equipped with high-speed data transmission channels, it will only cause data blockage or burnout, while those with high calculation speeds can receive and process data more broadly and deeply. Such people actually have a special way of thinking.

There are roughly two ways of thinking: progressive thinking and jumping thinking (in fact, there are many ways of thinking, such as reverse thinking, etc.). The former is a logical step-by-step interpretation based on causality, but draws conclusions. This thinking is very suitable for planning, especially in chess. But because it requires step by step, this kind of thinking also requires a lot of actual materials to ensure the possibility of implementation. The latter is to make horizontal connections through limited imagination in limited realistic materials, thereby expanding the multi-dimensionality of thinking (generally suitable for creative work), and there will be unexpected new discoveries.

If progressive thinking is a line, then jumping thinking is a net. The former connects the realistic materials from dots in series and draws the conclusion of the end point. In the latter case, the real material is connected in parallel, and any point can be the cause or lead directly to the conclusion. So from this point of view, the logic of the former is rigorous and easy for ordinary people to understand. The latter is too jumpy for ordinary people to understand, but it is relatively easy to grasp things comprehensively.

Leap-thinking has a very fatal weakness: when limited realistic material becomes the point of divergence, the branch of information will expand in a multi-dimensional direction. If details are spent in the multi-dimensional direction, people without thinking and control will be dismissed A huge amount of information is consumed. Ordinary people just stick to the problem and don't delve into it. People with this mindset will not control, so problems will arise.

Of course, the degree of potential inhibition varies from person to person. Therefore, it is not suitable to divide human beings by the dichotomy on the problem of potential suppression. As long as the IQ level and the amount of information received and processed basically match, it is healthy.

They are not weird

They behaved just like ordinary people. On the surface, they looked the same as or even stronger than ordinary people, but their hearts were extremely fragile. Everyone only saw him crazy, genius side, but no one could approach his heart and be fragile. At the same time, it is almost impossible to express feelings at the same time, or it is extremely pale, and the heart is really hovering between heaven and hell.

Such people will continue to deny their beliefs. For perfectionists who have this kind of disease, sometimes they feel worse than life. When they go to heaven, they look down at hell, when they go down, they ca nt lift their heads. Reaching the limit, his own feelings also brought him a vision of genius. At this time, there are two types of people, one is to accept and work hard to exert this ability, and the other is to think that he is almost crazy, and will try to resist the storm that his ability brings to his feelings and resist this ability.

Some people succeed. They are either very strong-willed or have high IQs. After all, these two kinds of people are a minority, so the remaining ones either commit suicide or go to mental hospitals, or continue to endure and continue to struggle. Many people think that they, including the patients themselves, don't think they need emotions, but their feelings are very delicate, and they can feel things that others can't.

All their inner expressions are a negative of themselves, they will not be exposed normally like ordinary people, and they hate others to try to figure out their inner hearts. This may be something protected by self-consciousness that cannot accept too much emotion, but they themselves know that this expression is wrong, which in turn reflects the patient's contradictory thinking.

Like acting in life and in the crowd, they have successfully performed what they consider to be the most powerful side. They are pessimistic, irritable, and extremely stressed, and seem to be on the verge of collapse every day. They are like a tight string, and the length of time they adhere to depends on the patient's own situation.

Low latent depression

As the title of the paragraph states, a potential inhibitory disorder is not forgetting. Potential inhibitors only deepen the link to information. Relevance is strengthened to varying degrees. However, low-potential inhibition does not mean that there is no inhibition at all. There are still personal preferences, but only to varying degrees. For areas of great interest, it can indeed achieve similar effects to those that have been remembered, but for things that are not very interesting, Not necessarily. Deepen the relationship, just like people with high IQ also have strong memory, and patients with latent depression also have relatively strong memory. For those who are not crazy, they have higher IQ, and their thinking speed is faster than ordinary people. Quickly, the disease can deepen the breadth and length of information association. Naturally, the memory is stronger.

Regarding this article, it may be caused by a phenomenon of "synapsis", which is also described above. Synaesthesia is often unconscious and involuntary. Synaptic memory is a very good method of memory. Maybe the so-called "memory" will feel excellent. However, it is worth noting that their working memory (ordinary people is about 7 units) if they are not trained, there does not seem to be a very obvious difference.

About other mental or physical illnesses

There is no obvious or direct evidence for this to be directly or indirectly related to schizophrenia, personality disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it is undeniable that the phenomenon observed by LLI is sufficient to affect the patient's brain or psychology. It is not clear whether long-term LLI may cause abnormal brain structure.

But LLI is generally prone to headache symptoms. The serotonin consumption of serotonin in LLI patients during the thinking process is faster than that of ordinary people, which may also cause headaches due to excessive contraction of blood vessels in the brain of patients. This is theoretically a feedback effect. Headaches can cause patients to stop thinking, thereby reducing the consumption of serotonin and inhibiting excessive vasoconstriction. However, some patients with severe symptoms cannot stop thinking and experience prolonged headaches or even fainting.

The serotonin secretion rate of LLI is lower than that of ordinary people, which may cause some depression. However, there is no direct relationship between the reduction of serotonin secretion and depression in science.

Personality traits about low potential depression

It is speculated that the MBTI personality type of LLIs should be INTP, INTJ, and extraverted emotions are generally low. Because LLI is too rational thinking, good at discovering the nature of things, and very fast jumping intuition, and accurate analysis of opinions or situations, LLI and INTP seem to have something in common. The performance of LLI is very similar to that of INTJ. It can be said that it is more like a mixture of INTJ and INTP. This is likely to be related to its own multiple personalities, but it is not clear whether there is a direct and indirect correlation. Statistical and psychological evidence is still needed.

About the life phenomenon of the patient

Because LLI is rare in life, there are some symptoms of mental illness similar to it, because the symptoms are not widely known, and many doctors do not even know the specific information of the symptoms. What's worse is unheard of. Some patients with LLI are taken directly to the hospital as mental illness. However, this is not only useless, it will also lead to aggravation of their illness, suspicion of the people around them, suspicion of society, etc., which will produce anti-social personality and harm the society.

In LLI's ordinary life, there are usually no close minds and no good friends, because of their unpredictable heart and changing personality and masks. And their own unique ways of knowing and acting. What they did differently from ordinary people made them look like a stranger. Therefore, it may be rejected by some people. This also exacerbates their thinking about human nature, which in turn exacerbates their symptoms. But in fact they are not weird (same as above)

LLI's sentiment concept is also different from ordinary people. They also have their own unique opinions on feelings. LLI who has experienced many emotional disputes, because of their accumulated experience, reflection and improvement, their emotional intelligence performance in the crowd is very high, but it may also be extremely Low (this can happen if its own philosophy is wrong). LLI with high emotional intelligence can better control their emotions and personality, but this is not a cure. If it is said that LLI is destined to die due to mental illness, then as the emotional intelligence increases, their death period will be infinitely delayed until the day when the body also dies.

There are positive and negative aspects of LLI in life. Take the marriage life as an example, the marriage life of a positive LLI is very harmonious. Because of the ability of LLI to perceive the emotions of others, they can find the emotional problems of their spouses in marriage. , And can better help them release stress and solve problems. Responsible. But they generally lack a sense of security, and they are extremely lacking. This is due to the pressure they received from others when they were young. They are not good at expressing emotions, and their expressions are different. Coupled with their own self-contained understanding and emotional attitude, there will be some problems in emotional communication, and some disputes and misunderstandings will easily occur. They are very focused, and the opposite sex that makes them like is often the opposite sex that keeps them thinking. With such an opposite sex, it can be said that as long as they don't stop thinking, their love will not end. And because people's lives are constantly changing, thinking can hardly stop. Of course, negative LLI marriages are also extremely scary. They may be extremely masculine, have problematic ideas, and cause domestic violence. In other words, with negative LLI, the consequences are extremely serious .
