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: "Interoceptive & Proprioceptive Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on internal physiological states (interoception) from those based on body position, movement, and muscle tension (proprioception). These two categories represent distinct sensory systems within the internal body, comprehensively covering the scope of how these specific types of perceptual patterns are implicitly identified and utilized.
8
From: "Interoceptive Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates interoceptive pattern matching that primarily concerns the regulation of internal bodily states to maintain homeostasis and address basic physiological needs (e.g., hunger, thirst, temperature, pain, fatigue) from interoceptive pattern matching that primarily concerns the recognition and implicit interpretation of bodily sensations that constitute or accompany affective and emotional states (e.g., heart rate changes associated with anxiety, gut feelings associated with fear or excitement). These two categories comprehensively cover the primary functional domains of interoceptive pattern recognition and activation.
9
From: "Affective & Emotional State Pattern Matching"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on the continuous, dimensional aspects of feeling (e.g., valence and arousal, often referred to as core affect) from those based on more specific, categorical emotional states (e.g., fear, joy, anger), which involve distinct, often multi-faceted, physiological signatures. These two categories comprehensively cover the primary ways in which interoceptive patterns of affective and emotional states are implicitly recognized.
10
From: "Discrete Emotional Pattern Matching"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of interoceptive patterns corresponding to specific, categorical emotional states characterized by a predominant positive valence (e.g., joy, contentment, interest) from those characterized by a predominant negative valence (e.g., fear, anger, sadness, disgust). This distinction, based on the fundamental hedonic tone or valence inherent in discrete emotional experiences, represents a primary organizing principle in emotion science and comprehensively covers the full spectrum of discrete emotional pattern recognition.
11
From: "Positive Discrete Emotional Pattern Matching"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of interoceptive patterns corresponding to specific, categorical positive emotional states characterized by high physiological activation (e.g., excitement, elation) from those characterized by low physiological activation (e.g., serenity, contentment). This distinction, based on the fundamental physiological dimension of arousal that significantly shapes interoceptive experience, represents a primary organizing principle in emotion science and comprehensively covers the full spectrum of positive discrete emotional pattern recognition.
12
From: "High-Arousal Positive Discrete Emotional Pattern Matching"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of interoceptive patterns corresponding to high-arousal positive discrete emotions that are primarily *future-oriented*, driving motivation and expectation towards an impending reward or desired outcome (anticipatory), from those that are primarily *present-oriented*, associated with the actual experience or achievement of a reward or desired state (consummatory). This distinction, based on the temporal dimension of reward processing and emotional experience, is a fundamental organizing principle in the neuroscience of reward and emotion, comprehensively covering the full spectrum of high-arousal positive discrete emotional pattern recognition.
