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: "Designing a Simple Experiment"
Split Justification: Designing a simple experiment fundamentally involves two distinct yet complementary aspects: first, establishing the core elements that will be manipulated, measured, or kept constant (variables and controls); and second, detailing the step-by-step execution plan, including methodology, data collection, and logistical considerations (experimental protocol).
9
From: "Development of Experimental Protocol"
Split Justification: This split divides the development of an experimental protocol into two fundamental aspects. "Definition of Experimental Design Parameters" focuses on the conceptual and structural elements of the experiment, such as identifying and defining variables, establishing control groups, implementing randomization or blinding, and determining sample selection criteria. "Specification of Operational Procedures" details the practical, step-by-step instructions for conducting the experiment, including materials and equipment lists, precise measurement techniques, data collection methods, safety protocols, and a timeline. These two components are distinct yet collectively form a complete experimental protocol.
10
From: "Definition of Experimental Design Parameters"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the core elements of the experiment concerning the variables being manipulated and measured and their hypothesized relationships (substantive) from the practical, procedural, and analytical aspects of how the experiment will be conducted, controlled, and analyzed to ensure validity and reliability (methodological).
11
From: "Substantive Experimental Parameters"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the substantive experimental parameters into those defining the independent variables, treatments, and controlled contextual factors (the experimental setup or 'input') from those defining the dependent variables, operational definitions, and data collection methods (the observed 'output').
12
From: "Observable Outcomes and Measurement Protocols"
Split Justification: This split directly separates the "what" (the specific data points or variables being observed/measured) from the "how" (the detailed methods, procedures, and instruments used for observation and measurement). This creates a fundamental dichotomy where the outcome is the target of investigation, and the protocol is the means by which that target is assessed. Both are distinct yet essential components of any comprehensive experimental design.
