A speech disorder where a person involuntarily repeats or echoes words spoken to them.
From Greek 'kata' (down) + 'phasis' (speech), a neurological term for automatic speech repetition.
Cataphasia is related to echolalia (echoing words), and appears in certain brain conditions—it's different from stuttering because the speaker isn't trying to say anything new, just echoing.
