- Animal studies of cannabinoids reveal widely varying behavioral effects, but several appear consistently. One is a hyperreflexive response to specific stimuli accompanying the overall sedative effects.

- The patellar reflex is typically normal or may appear hyperreflexive.

- Not only are the reflex arcs functioning in the hind limbs despite the damage to the spinal cord at L1 to L2, but the reflex responses are hyperreflexive.
- Tending toward abnormally high levels of introspection.

- But Artaud describes certain strange transformations of facial awareness that one might imagine occurring under conditions of prolonged withdrawal and hyperreflexive contemplation — conditions in which the normally implicit and inner is extruded into a state of quasi-externality.

- Secondly, however, as Sass (1998, 2000) suggests, metarepresentation and a certain degree of overmonitoring of experience can be generated in hyperreflexive experience, when processes that are ordinarily tacit (processes that I normally do not have to monitor explicitly or consciously) come to the subject's attention.

- The passage describes a lived face that, under conditions of hyperreflexive awareness and diminished self-affection, seems to be turned inside out, flattened and extruded until it becomes a kind of fluid mask — a fragile lived membrane of squirming sensitivity and kaleidoscopic pattern that seems to lift off from his head to float independently in the air.
- 2013, KWM Fulford, Martin Davies, Richard Gipps, The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry, →ISBN, page v:
- This hyperreflexive “turning backward” toward the self is incompatible with more spontaneous, world-directed forms of activity.
- (mathematics) Having a bounded local distance of operators in a nested algebra or reflexive subspace
- 2016, Chafiq Benhida, Kamila Kliś-Garlicka, Marek Ptak, “Skew-symmetric operators and reflexivity”, in arXiv[1]:
- In contrast to the subspaces of all -symmetric operators, we show that the subspaces of all skew-C symmetric operators are reflexive and even hyperreflexive with the constant ..
