What is the difference between the psychological description of stream-of-consciousness novels and traditional novels?

The most commonly used and important techniques to express the psychological activities of characters in stream-of-consciousness novels mainly include: inner monologue, free association, montage, time-space jump, narration and so on.

In stream-of-consciousness novels, the stream of consciousness of characters is often irregular and orderly. Generally, his consciousness can only stay on a problem or a thing for a short time, and things in his mind are often replaced by the sudden appearance of external objective things. Anything that can stimulate the five senses may interrupt the thinking of characters, stimulate new thoughts and fantasies, and release a series of new impressions and feelings. Authors often combine events and scenes in different time and space, thus transcending the limitation of time and space, showing the jumping and disorder of human consciousness across time and space.
