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: "Perceptual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from external sensory input (e.g., visual scenes, sounds, tactile sensations from the environment) from those derived from internal bodily sensations (e.g., proprioception, interoception, vestibular sense). These two categories comprehensively cover all sources of direct sensory input for pattern processing.
7
From: "Exteroceptive Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from senses that perceive stimuli at a distance (e.g., vision, audition for environmental scanning and distant object recognition) from those that require direct physical contact or very close proximity (e.g., touch, taste, smell for immediate object properties and direct interaction). These two categories comprehensively cover all sources of exteroceptive sensory input by distinguishing between information gathered about the broader, remote environment and information gathered through immediate, close-range interaction with objects or substances.
8
From: "Distal Exteroceptive Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from visual sensory input (e.g., recognizing faces, objects, scenes, motion from light) from those derived from auditory sensory input (e.g., recognizing voices, sounds, music, environmental noises from sound waves). These two categories comprehensively cover the primary modes of distal exteroceptive pattern processing in humans.
9
From: "Auditory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of auditory patterns specifically structured for and interpreted as language (e.g., phonemes, words, prosody in speech) from those not structured for or interpreted as language (e.g., music, environmental sounds, animal vocalizations, alarms). These two categories comprehensively cover the primary functional domains of human auditory pattern processing.
10
From: "Linguistic Auditory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns related to the discrete phonological and lexical units of language (e.g., phonemes, morphemes, words) from those related to the suprasegmental features of language that span across these units (e.g., prosody, intonation, stress, rhythm). These two categories comprehensively cover the primary types of patterns processed within linguistic auditory recognition, distinguishing between the building blocks of speech sounds and the melodic/rhythmic contours that modulate their meaning and structure.
11
From: "Suprasegmental/Prosodic Linguistic Auditory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of suprasegmental/prosodic patterns that primarily contribute to the internal linguistic organization and meaning (e.g., marking syntactic boundaries, distinguishing word meanings via stress, signaling sentence type, highlighting information focus) from those that primarily convey contextual, emotional, and social information about the speaker or interaction (e.g., discerning emotional state, speaker attitude, communicative intent like sarcasm, turn-taking cues). These two categories comprehensively cover the full range of functions for which suprasegmental/prosodic patterns are implicitly processed within language, delineating between pattern matching for the inherent linguistic system and for the contextual, expressive, and interpersonal aspects of speech.
12
From: "Affective & Pragmatic Prosodic Pattern Matching"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of prosodic patterns that primarily convey the speaker's internal emotional or attitudinal state from those that primarily convey the speaker's interactional goals or intended illocutionary force within the communicative context (e.g., asking a question, making a command, indicating sarcasm, signaling turn-taking). These two categories comprehensively cover the full scope of affective and pragmatic information implicitly processed from prosodic cues.
