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: "Quantitative/Logical Reasoning"
Split Justification: Logical reasoning can be strictly formal following rules of inference (**Deductive Proof**) or drawing general conclusions from specific examples (**Inductive Reasoning Case Study**). (L5 Split)
6
From: "Inductive Reasoning Case Study"
Split Justification: Induction involves forming general rules (**Hypothesis Generation**) and testing their predictive power (**Hypothesis Testing**). (L6 Split)
7
From: "Hypothesis Testing"
Split Justification: Testing a hypothesis involves designing a fair test (**Designing a Simple Experiment**) and drawing conclusions from the outcome (**Interpreting Results**).
8
From: "Interpreting Results"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the objective, quantitative evaluation of the evidence from the hypothesis (Statistical Significance Assessment) from the more qualitative, integrative process of understanding the real-world implications, limitations, and broader significance of those findings (Contextual Meaning Derivation).
9
From: "Contextual Meaning Derivation"
Split Justification: The derivation of contextual meaning involves a fundamental two-step process: first, understanding the implications strictly within the parameters of the specific research study (its design, data, and hypotheses); and second, integrating these specific findings into the wider body of existing knowledge, theories, or practical applications to establish their general significance.
10
From: "Specific Research Context Meaning"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the understanding of results based on their direct meaning within the specific research design, methods, and observed data (internal interpretation) from their broader significance, applicability, and contribution to theoretical frameworks, general populations, or practical applications (external implications and generalizability). Together, these two aspects comprehensively cover the derivation of meaning from a specific research context.
11
From: "Internal Interpretation of Study Findings"
Split Justification: This dichotomy addresses the two fundamental cognitive processes by which an individual internally interprets new information (study findings). "Integration of Findings within Existing Cognitive Frameworks" refers to the assimilation process where new information is understood and incorporated without significantly altering pre-existing mental models or beliefs. "Reconfiguration of Cognitive Frameworks by Findings" refers to the accommodation process where new findings challenge or contradict existing schemas, necessitating a modification, expansion, or creation of new internal cognitive structures to make sense of the information. These two cover all possibilities for how an individual's internal knowledge and belief systems are affected by new study findings.
12
From: "Integration of Findings within Existing Cognitive Frameworks"
Split Justification: This dichotomy directly maps to Piaget's foundational concepts of how new information is processed in relation to existing cognitive structures. Assimilative integration involves fitting new findings into existing frameworks without altering the frameworks, thereby reinforcing or elaborating them. Accommodative integration, conversely, requires modifying or restructuring existing frameworks, or creating new ones, to incorporate findings that cannot be readily assimilated. These two processes comprehensively cover the ways an individual integrates new information into their internal cognitive schemas.
