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: "Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the receptive aspects of linguistic reasoning, involving the understanding and interpretation of spoken or written language, from the expressive aspects, which involve the formulation and production of spoken or written language. These are distinct, fundamental processes that together encompass all facets of verbal reasoning.
6
From: "Verbal Comprehension"
Split Justification: This split distinguishes between understanding the explicit, directly stated meaning of verbal information and understanding the unstated, implied, or deeper meaning that requires synthesis and deduction. These represent distinct levels of cognitive processing within overall verbal comprehension.
7
From: "Literal Comprehension"
Split Justification: Literal comprehension, while aiming for the explicit meaning, is fundamentally processed through two distinct input modalities: visual (written language) and auditory (spoken language). The cognitive mechanisms for decoding and understanding orthographic symbols differ significantly from those for phonological sounds, making this a fundamental and mutually exclusive dichotomy that comprehensively covers all forms of verbal literal comprehension.
8
From: "Literal Comprehension of Spoken Language"
Split Justification: Literal comprehension of spoken language fundamentally involves understanding the explicit meaning of individual words and phrases (lexical units) as they are heard, and understanding the explicit meaning derived from the grammatical relations and syntactic structure that connect those words within the utterance. These two components are distinct yet essential for full literal comprehension.
9
From: "Literal Comprehension of Spoken Grammatical Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the two primary and distinct linguistic mechanisms by which grammatical relations are encoded and comprehended in spoken language. Syntactic structure refers to the arrangement of words and phrases (e.g., word order, constituent grouping), while morphological inflection refers to changes in word forms (e.g., case markers, agreement endings, verb tense suffixes) that signal grammatical roles. These represent fundamentally different types of cues processed during literal comprehension.
10
From: "Comprehension of Spoken Grammatical Relations via Syntactic Structure"
Split Justification: Syntactic structure primarily conveys grammatical relations through two distinct mechanisms: the linear arrangement of words (word order) and systematic variations in word forms (morphology or inflection). This split differentiates the fundamental types of structural cues processed for comprehension.
11
From: "Comprehension of Spoken Grammatical Relations via Morphological Cues"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the comprehension of morphological cues based on the part of speech where they are realized. Verb morphology primarily conveys information about the predicate and its relation to arguments (e.g., tense, aspect, mood, subject-verb agreement), while morphology on nouns and their modifiers (adjectives, determiners) primarily conveys information about nominal arguments and their internal structure (e.g., case marking, number, gender agreement). These two categories comprehensively cover the primary loci of morphological cues for grammatical relations and are mutually exclusive in terms of the word class being marked.
12
From: "Comprehension of Morphological Cues on Verbs"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the comprehension of verb morphology based on whether the cue primarily signals information about the time and temporal nature of the action (tense, aspect) or about the verb's relationship with its arguments and the speaker's stance (person, number, voice, mood/modality). These are fundamental and distinct categories of grammatical information conveyed by verb morphology.
