[quote=Anonymous]Is there a name for this phenomenon? Certain family members fall to this pattern a lot. "Let's go out for Italian!" "There's a great Italian place at x, y, or z" "Z! That place is good." "Oh, but X is really close, and Z is so far away." "Oh well, even though Z is far, it's worth it." (Later) "Hey, grandpa says he doesn't want Italian, he wants a burger joint." "Oh ok, let's change it for him. What burger joints are there in Z area?" They go to a burger joint in faraway Z Like, the decision making follows a chain that doesn't lead them back to the original goal. Eating something good and close. I have family members who do this often. Not just restaurants. Vacations, shopping, house buying. They just follow a meandering chain of thoughts and when the plan has to pivot they stay on the same chain instead of going back to the beginning. [/quote]
