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: "Analytical Processing"
Split Justification: Analytical thought engages distinct symbolic systems: abstract logic and mathematics (**Quantitative/Logical Reasoning**) versus structured language (**Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning**).
5
From: "Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the receptive aspects of linguistic reasoning, involving the understanding and interpretation of spoken or written language, from the expressive aspects, which involve the formulation and production of spoken or written language. These are distinct, fundamental processes that together encompass all facets of verbal reasoning.
6
From: "Verbal Comprehension"
Split Justification: This split distinguishes between understanding the explicit, directly stated meaning of verbal information and understanding the unstated, implied, or deeper meaning that requires synthesis and deduction. These represent distinct levels of cognitive processing within overall verbal comprehension.
7
From: "Literal Comprehension"
Split Justification: Literal comprehension, while aiming for the explicit meaning, is fundamentally processed through two distinct input modalities: visual (written language) and auditory (spoken language). The cognitive mechanisms for decoding and understanding orthographic symbols differ significantly from those for phonological sounds, making this a fundamental and mutually exclusive dichotomy that comprehensively covers all forms of verbal literal comprehension.
8
From: "Literal Comprehension of Spoken Language"
Split Justification: Literal comprehension of spoken language fundamentally involves understanding the explicit meaning of individual words and phrases (lexical units) as they are heard, and understanding the explicit meaning derived from the grammatical relations and syntactic structure that connect those words within the utterance. These two components are distinct yet essential for full literal comprehension.
9
From: "Literal Comprehension of Spoken Grammatical Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the two primary and distinct linguistic mechanisms by which grammatical relations are encoded and comprehended in spoken language. Syntactic structure refers to the arrangement of words and phrases (e.g., word order, constituent grouping), while morphological inflection refers to changes in word forms (e.g., case markers, agreement endings, verb tense suffixes) that signal grammatical roles. These represent fundamentally different types of cues processed during literal comprehension.

From: "Comprehension of Spoken Grammatical Relations via Morphological Inflection"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the two primary, functionally distinct ways morphological inflection conveys grammatical relations in spoken language. The first child concept focuses on understanding relations signaled by inflectional features that indicate concord or feature matching between elements (e.g., subject-verb agreement, adjective-noun agreement). The second child concept focuses on understanding relations signaled by inflectional features that mark the syntactic or semantic roles of arguments within a sentence (e.g., nominative, accusative, dative case marking for subject, direct object, indirect object). Together, these two concepts comprehensively cover the scope of grammatical relations conveyed via morphological inflection.
11
From: "Comprehension of Inflectional Agreement"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes whether the comprehension of inflectional agreement is primarily based on the formal grammatical features and rules that dictate agreement between elements (syntactic agreement) or on the interpretation of the meaning or intended referents of those elements, especially in instances where syntactic and semantic cues might diverge (semantic agreement).
12
From: "Comprehension of Semantic Agreement"
Split Justification: Semantic agreement arises when meaning overrides strict grammatical form in determining agreement. This dichotomy distinguishes between instances where the semantic information driving agreement is primarily derived from the inherent properties of specific lexical items (e.g., collective nouns implying plurality) and instances where it stems from the broader contextual or pragmatic interpretation of the utterance.
