What is echolalia?

Echolalia is the repetition of words or phrases orally. This can be saying the same word over and over (potato potato potato potato) or it can be repeating a word or phrase you previously heard/said. For instance, I often respond to people with “All good things, all good things” which is a quote from Olaf from Frozen. I even hear it in his voice when I say it. Echolalia also overlaps with scripting in that it can be repeating things that you yourself have previously said. 

Basically, echolalia is echoing speech. Echolalia is part of a broader classification of behaviors known as echophenomena which include the following:

Echolalia: the repetition of words or sounds orally

Echolalioplasia: the repetition of sign language

Echologia: the repetition of words or sounds in thought

Echomimia: the repetition of facial expressions

Echopraxia: the repetition of movements

Echographia: the repetition of words when written or typed

Echoplasia: the repetition of physically or mentally tracing the contours of objects
