An emergency room intern is attempting to evaluate a 32-year-old Caucasian man with a long
history of schizophrenia, disorganized type. The patient has been taking haloperidol for the
past 4 years without significant adverse side effects. In obtaining the history, the physician
asks the patient to describe any auditory hallucinations he hears and the patient responds by
saying "killin, chillin, and thrillin." Which of the following most accurately describes this type of
response?
1.Clanging
2.Flight of ideas
3.Looseness of associations
4.Neologism
5.Thought blocking
