Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Confoundment

👉 Confounding is a term used in the field of psychology and neuroscience to describe situations or events where one factor can cause a person's response to another, potentially leading to a false identification of the situation as being more severe than it actually is. Confounds are often seen when two seemingly unrelated factors act together to produce an effect that is not expected from either factor alone. Examples include drug-drug interactions, exposure to noise and light, or changes in behavior due to changes in mood or stress levels.
