dissociability

Ability to disconnect

Dissociability is the quality of being separable into distinct parts or components.

In psychology and neuroscience, it describes how mental processes or brain functions can operate independently: The dissociability of memory systems suggests different neural pathways for remembering facts versus skills.

The term appears in technical contexts where researchers need to establish that two phenomena aren't simply variations of one underlying process.
