KembaraXtra-Psychology - autochthonous
Autochthonous means originating from within rather than from outside stimulation, applied both to bodily functions that are self-generated (like heartbeat) and to psychological forms (such as an autochthonous Gestalt produced by the perceiver rather than inherent in the stimulus).

KembaraXtra-Psychology - autocorrelation
Autocorrelation is the correlation between values in a time series and the same series shifted by a fixed lag. For example, daily migraine ratings can be correlated with ratings from one day earlier (first-order autocorrelation), and such autocorrelations tend to be positive when today’s score predicts tomorrow’s. Correlations with scores two days apart form second-order autocorrelation, and so on; it relates to autoregression and correlograms.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - auto-erotism
In psychoanalysis, auto-erotism is early-infant behaviour in which an instinct is satisfied without using an external instinctual object. The term was used by Havelock Ellis (1859–1939) in 1898, defining it as sexual emotion arising without an external stimulus from another person. It is also called auto-eroticism and is linked with allo-erotism and narcissism.

Autogenic training (autogenics) is a psychotherapy method teaching self-hypnosis and biofeedback-based self-regulation for stress control. It uses a graded sequence of mental exercises focusing on heaviness in limbs, warmth in limbs, heart rate, breathing, warmth in the upper abdomen, and coolness of the forehead to promote relaxation. It was developed in Germany from the 1930s to 1950s and popularized by Johann Heinrich Schultz (1884–1970).

KembaraXtra-Psychology - autokinetic effect
The autokinetic effect (autokinetic phenomenon/illusion; AKI) is the apparent motion of a stationary point of light viewed in total darkness, arising from physiological nystagmus that the visual system cannot fully correct without a visible frame of reference. The term was coined in 1887 by Hermann Aubert, combining “self” with motion-related roots.
