Echolalia... echolalia...

Echolalia is the repeating of words or sounds heard. This can be immediate or delayed. An example of immediate echolalia could be meowing back at a cat. Delayed echolalia can be part of scripting, or for fun.

Immediate echolalia

Immediate echolalia is repeating a sound, word, or phrase right after hearing it. It could be anything from a single word to a whole sentence. Some people even translate what they hear into another language.

Delayed echolalia

More detail please!

Echolagia

Echolagia is when you repeat what you heard internally, rather than out loud.
