Perseveration and electronic music

Is there a link between perseveration and repetitive electronic music styles? i.e., is the same part of the brain affected? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.112.151 (talk) 14:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Asperger example

The Asperger example doesn't seem very explanatory to the people who wouldn't know anything about it already. I'd suggest expanding or rewriting. --OGoncho (talk) 04:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity

"If an issue has been fully explored and discussed to a point of resolution it is not uncommon for something to trigger the re-investigation of the matter. This can happen at any time during a conversation. This is particularly true with those who have had traumatic brain injuries."

This is well nigh impossible to decipher. Can someone please provide a translation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.88.112.253 (talk) 01:45, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Brain damage?

So if I persevere after a girl I love, I must have brain damage? If anti-vandals on Wikipedia persevere in reverting vandalism, they have brain damage? Where's the common sense in that? --Anime Addict AA (talk) 17:36, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Source of the term?

When was the term coined? Looking at the Wiktionary entry for "-ate," it doesn't seem to often be attached to verbs to make other verbs. I never really understood it, etymologically or otherwise, when I was growing up, despite being frequently chided for it. Best as I could tell, it meant "like perseverance, except I don't like you doing it." --Shay Guy (talk) 19:12, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aspie Trait

Although original reference was removed, perseverative conversations (and actions) are common to many Aspergers patients and it is widely described as such (and is distinct from OCD), such behaviour is also used as an aid to spotting AS spectrum children. At some point a good reference should go back in, but I'm not familiar enough with this to do a acceptable job on it; a couple of possible refs: [1] [2] [3]
