From: "Human Potential & Development."
Split Justification: Development fundamentally involves both our inner landscape (**Internal World**) and our interaction with everything outside us (**External World**). (Ref: Subject-Object Distinction)..
2
From: "Internal World (The Self)"
Split Justification: The Internal World involves both mental processes (**Cognitive Sphere**) and physical experiences (**Somatic Sphere**). (Ref: Mind-Body Distinction)
3
From: "Cognitive Sphere"
Split Justification: Cognition operates via deliberate, logical steps (**Analytical Processing**) and faster, intuitive pattern-matching (**Intuitive/Associative Processing**). (Ref: Dual Process Theory)
4
From: "Intuitive/Associative Processing"
Split Justification: Intuitive/associative processing fundamentally operates in two distinct, yet complementary, modes: either by rapidly identifying and utilizing pre-existing patterns and associations (often automatically and implicitly), or by forming new, non-obvious connections that lead to emergent insights and novel ideas. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how this cognitive function processes information.
5
From: "Pattern Matching & Implicit Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on direct sensory input (e.g., recognizing faces, sounds, immediate environmental threats) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on abstract meaning, categories, semantic knowledge, and higher-level schema (e.g., understanding language, social cues, expert intuition). These two categories delineate distinct levels of information abstraction in pattern processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how pre-existing patterns are implicitly identified and utilized.
6
From: "Conceptual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on abstract factual knowledge, semantic networks, and categories (knowing 'what' things are) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on skills, rules, and action sequences (knowing 'how' to do things). These two categories delineate distinct forms of conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
7
From: "Declarative Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on general knowledge, facts, and concepts independent of specific personal experience (e.g., knowing the capital of France) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on specific past events, personal experiences, and their associated contexts (e.g., recalling details of a specific birthday party). These two categories delineate distinct forms of declarative conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
8
From: "Episodic Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the objective factual details, sequences, and descriptive elements of specific past events (e.g., recognizing that a current situation mirrors the actions or context of a past personal experience) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the subjective emotional states, sensations, and personal significance associated with those specific past events (e.g., recognizing that a current situation evokes the same feelings or reactions as a past personal experience). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how patterns from personal past events are implicitly identified and activated.
9
From: "Activation of Event-Affect Patterns"
Split Justification: Subjective emotional states, sensations, and personal significance inherently carry a fundamental qualitative distinction of valence (pleasantness or unpleasantness). This dichotomy comprehensively covers all possible affective patterns based on past events, as the intuitive activation of such patterns is primarily differentiated by whether they signal a positive or negative personal significance, driving distinct approach or avoidance responses respectively.
10
From: "Activation of Positive Event-Affect Patterns"
Split Justification: Positive emotional states, sensations, and personal significance inherently vary along a fundamental dimension of arousal (intensity/activation). This dichotomy comprehensively covers all possible positive affective patterns based on past events, as their intuitive activation is primarily differentiated by whether they signal an energetic, activating personal significance (e.g., excitement, joy) or a calm, deactivating personal significance (e.g., serenity, contentment), often driving distinct responses like engagement or repose, respectively.
11
From: "Activation of High Arousal Positive Event-Affect Patterns"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of high arousal positive affective patterns that are associated with the drive, pursuit, and anticipation of rewarding experiences (appetitive) from those associated with the satisfaction, realization, and peak experience of having achieved or experienced something rewarding (consummatory). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how high arousal positive patterns from past events are implicitly identified and activated, reflecting the dual nature of motivated behavior in seeking and experiencing reward.
12
From: "Activation of Consummatory High Arousal Positive Event-Affect Patterns"
Split Justification: Consummatory high arousal positive event-affect patterns can be fundamentally differentiated by whether the sense of satisfaction and peak experience is primarily derived from an internal, personal sense of achievement, mastery, or fulfillment (self-referenced), or from external validation, recognition, or shared celebration within a social context (socially-referenced). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how such patterns are implicitly identified and activated, reflecting distinct sources and referents of reward and satisfaction in human experience.
