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 Content Manipulation Procedures"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, utilization of conceptual procedural patterns that operate on mental content primarily represented in a quasi-perceptual, analog, or spatial format (e.g., manipulating mental images, mentally navigating a familiar layout) from those that operate on mental content primarily represented in a symbolic, abstract, or propositional format (e.g., performing internal calculations with numbers, sequencing abstract ideas based on logical or linguistic rules). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how existing internal mental content is implicitly transformed or operated upon within the cognitive sphere.
10
From: "Spatial/Imagistic Content Manipulation Procedures"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, utilization of conceptual procedural patterns that operate on and transform the intrinsic properties, configuration, or arrangement of discrete mental images or objects (e.g., mentally rotating a shape), from those that operate on and manage one's own position, orientation, or movement within a larger mentally represented spatial environment or layout (e.g., mentally navigating a familiar building). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how existing spatial/imagistic mental content is implicitly transformed or traversed within the cognitive sphere.
11
From: "Mental Environmental Navigation Procedures"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, utilization of conceptual procedural patterns primarily concerned with sequentially updating one's perceived location and trajectory within a mentally represented environment (managing 'where one is' and 'where one is moving to'), from those primarily concerned with adjusting one's internal viewpoint, heading, or direction of attention at a given location within that mental environment (managing 'which way one is looking' or 'how one is facing'). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of implicitly activated procedures for managing one's spatial self within a mental environment.
12
From: "Mental Position Traversal Procedures"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, utilization of conceptual procedural patterns for sequentially updating one's perceived location and trajectory within a mentally represented environment based on an internal, self-referenced (egocentric) frame of reference (e.g., imagining moving through a familiar room from one's own viewpoint), from those based on an external, environment-referenced (allocentric) frame of reference (e.g., tracking one's position on a mental map-like representation). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of implicitly activated procedures for managing one's spatial self within a mental environment by distinguishing between self-centered and world-centered updates of position.
