Adjective

hyperreflexive (not comparable)

1. Involving overreaction in a reflex response.
   • It is velocity dependent, and there is a hyperreflexive tendon jerk. On the other hand, clinical rigidity is bidirectional, not velocity dependent, and there is no hyperreflexive tendon jerk.2012, Robert J. Person, Roger Thies, Physiology, →ISBN, page 49
   • Animal studies of cannabinoids reveal widely varying behavioral effects, but several appear consistently. One is a hyperreflexive response to specific stimuli accompanying the overall sedative effects.2013, Mark S. Gold, Marijuana, →ISBN, page 44
2. Tending toward abnormally high levels of introspection.
   • But Artaud describes certain strange transformations of facial awareness that one might imagine occurring under conditions of prolonged withdrawal and hyperreflexive contemplation — conditions in which the normally implicit and inner is extruded into a state of quasi-externality.2000, Dan Zahavi, Exploring the Self, →ISBN, page 171

3. Having a bounded local distance of operators in a nested algebra or reflexive subspace
   • In contrast to the subspaces of all C-symmetric operators, we show that the subspaces of all skew-C symmetric operators are reflexive and even hyperreflexive with the constant #92;kappa(#92;Cˢ)#92;leqslant 3..2016, Chafiq Benhida, Kamila Kliś-Garlicka, Marek Ptak, “Skew-symmetric operators and reflexivity”, in arXiv
