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: "Procedural Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual procedural patterns (skills, rules, action sequences) that are primarily directed towards orchestrating physical actions, movements, or interactions within the external environment, from those that are primarily directed towards orchestrating internal mental operations, transformations, or cognitive strategies within the mind. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how 'knowing how' is implicitly activated and applied, either in the external world or within one's own cognitive processes.
8
From: "Internal Procedural Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual procedural patterns that are primarily directed towards operating on and transforming existing mental content (e.g., manipulating mental images, performing internal calculations, sequencing abstract ideas) from those that are primarily directed towards managing and orchestrating the cognitive system itself (e.g., directing attention, maintaining working memory items, inhibiting distracting thoughts, shifting cognitive set). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of implicitly activated 'knowing how' within the internal cognitive sphere, by distinguishing between procedures that act on mental data and those that act on the cognitive processes themselves.
9
From: "Internal Cognitive Regulation Procedures"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual procedural patterns that are primarily directed towards maintaining a current cognitive state, focus, or operational set (e.g., sustained attention, working memory maintenance, inhibition of distractions) from those that are primarily directed towards changing, reorienting, or reconfiguring the cognitive system's state or focus (e.g., task switching, attentional reallocation, updating working memory). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of implicitly activated 'knowing how' for managing and orchestrating the cognitive system itself, as cognitive regulation inherently involves both persistence and adaptation.
10
From: "Shifting Internal Cognitive Configuration"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual procedural patterns that are primarily directed towards shifting the entire framework or overarching mental environment of cognitive operation (e.g., switching between distinct tasks, goals, or broad schemas) from those that are primarily directed towards shifting attention or updating specific information within an already established cognitive context or task. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of implicitly activated 'knowing how' for changing the cognitive system's state or focus, by distinguishing between macro-level contextual shifts and micro-level focus and content adjustments.
11
From: "Shift of Global Cognitive Context"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual procedural patterns that shift the overarching mental environment by reconfiguring it *within* a larger, implicitly recognized conceptual framework or meta-schema (e.g., shifting between different phases of a single project, or different roles within a consistent domain) from those that transition *between* entirely distinct, independent conceptual frameworks or meta-schemas (e.g., shifting from a work-related context to a personal life context, or between fundamentally different domains of thought). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of implicitly activated 'knowing how' for changing the cognitive system's global context, by distinguishing shifts that occur within a macro-level framework from those that cross between such frameworks.
12
From: "Inter-Schema Context Transition"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual procedural patterns that shift the overarching mental environment between distinct conceptual frameworks, based on whether the primary cue triggering this implicit transition originates from external environmental stimuli or from internal cognitive or affective states. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of implicitly activated 'knowing how' for transitioning between global cognitive contexts, as any such implicit shift must be primarily cued by either an external input or an internal signal.
