Read a random definition: abuse excuse

A quick definition of ambulatory automatism:

Ambulatory automatism is a type of behavior where a person walks around without any control or purpose. It can happen when a person is not fully aware of their actions, like when they are sleepwalking or in a state of mental dissociation. This behavior can be used as a defense in court to show that the person did not have the intention to commit a crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ambulatory automatism is a type of automatism where a person walks or wanders around without any purpose or control over their actions. Automatism is a state where a person performs actions without any conscious thought or intention.

Examples: Sleepwalking is a common example of automatism. In this state, a person walks, talks, and performs other activities while asleep, without any awareness or control over their actions. Another example of automatism is a person who experiences a dissociative state, where they feel disconnected from their body and surroundings and may perform actions without any conscious thought or intention.

Explanation: Ambulatory automatism specifically refers to the type of automatism where a person walks or wanders around without any purpose or control over their actions. This can occur in various states, such as sleepwalking or dissociation. In legal terms, automatism can be used as a defense to negate the mental state required for committing a crime, as the person was not aware or in control of their actions.
