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: "Visual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of visual patterns to recognize what an object or entity is (its identity, form, and intrinsic properties) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of visual patterns to understand where it is, how it is moving, and how one might interact with it (its spatial location, motion, and potential for action). These two categories correspond to the well-established 'what' (ventral) and 'where/how' (dorsal) streams of visual processing, comprehensively covering the primary modes of visual pattern matching and activation.
10
From: "Visual Pattern Matching for Spatial, Motion, and Affordance Information"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of visual patterns to construct and update an objective, world-centered understanding of environmental spatial layout and the independent motion of objects (allocentric processing), from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of visual patterns to directly guide the observer's own actions, detect potential affordances, and maintain an egocentric spatial map for immediate interaction. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of visual pattern matching for spatial, motion, and affordance information by distinguishing between information processed for understanding the environment itself and information processed for interacting within that environment.
11
From: "Visual Pattern Matching for Allocentric Spatial Layout and Object Kinematics"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of visual patterns to understand the stable, overarching structural arrangement and static configuration of the environment (e.g., recognizing landmarks, spatial relationships between static objects, scene geometry), from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of visual patterns to track and interpret the independent movement, trajectories, and dynamic changes of objects within that environment (e.g., following a moving car, predicting a ball's path). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of visual pattern matching for allocentric spatial layout and object kinematics by distinguishing between the relatively static framework of the world and the dynamics of entities moving within it.
12
From: "Visual Pattern Matching for Allocentric Environmental Structure and Configuration"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of visual patterns to recognize individual, discrete, salient, and static elements within the environment (e.g., specific buildings, natural formations, distinct objects serving as landmarks) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of visual patterns to understand the overarching spatial layout, geometric properties, and relative arrangements between these and other elements, forming the coherent structure of a scene or environment. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of visual pattern matching for allocentric environmental structure and configuration by distinguishing between the recognition of individual static components and the comprehension of their interrelations and the resultant global spatial framework.
