In psychology, the term islet is not commonly used. However, in rare instances, it might metaphorically refer to isolated cognitive or behavioural patterns that stand apart from other more integrated Functions within the mind. These "islets” could represent pockets of behaviour, memory, or mental processes that remain unaffected by broader cognitive impairments or developmental issues.
Isodensity in the psychology context refers to a state of emotional or psychological equilibrium where an individual experiences a balanced and stable level of emotions, thoughts, or behaviors. It implies a state of harmony and balance within the psychological aspects of a person's life. Achieving isodensity is often seen as a desirable goal in mental well-being and emotional stability.
Isokinetic is defined as an action in which the rate of movement is constantly maintained through a specific range of motion even though maximal force is exerted. It is a type of dynamic exercise often using concentric and/or eccentric muscle contractions in which the speed (or velocity) of movement is constant and muscular contraction (often maximal contraction) occurs throughout the movement.
