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: "Broader Knowledge Integration"
Split Justification: Broader Knowledge Integration fundamentally involves either the formation of a more coherent and generalized understanding of concepts and relationships (Conceptual Synthesis) or the utilization of this expanded knowledge to guide specific actions, decisions, and problem-solving in diverse real-world contexts (Practical Application). These two aspects represent the primary cognitive outcomes of integrating new insights beyond their initial specific context, are mutually exclusive in their immediate focus (internal understanding vs. external action), and comprehensively cover the purposes of such integration.
11
From: "Practical Application"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between applying integrated knowledge to anticipate future states, understand potential outcomes, or forecast trends (predictive) and applying it to design interventions, guide actions, or create solutions to achieve desired outcomes (prescriptive). Both are fundamental modes of practical application, are largely mutually exclusive in their immediate aim, and comprehensively cover how analytically derived and integrated knowledge is put to use.
12
From: "Predictive Application"
Split Justification: Forecasting involves predicting future states, events, or trends based on derived knowledge and models. Prescriptive Action takes these predictions and, by evaluating potential interventions, recommends specific courses of action to achieve desired outcomes or mitigate risks. The former focuses on 'what will be', while the latter focuses on 'what should be done'.
