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 Expression"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the construction of logically sound arguments (Structuring an Argument) from the use of stylistic and persuasive language to influence an audience (Rhetorical Technique).
7
From: "Structuring an Argument"
Split Justification: An argument's structure can be based on reasoning from general principles to a guaranteed specific conclusion (Deductive Structuring) or from specific observations to a probable generalization (Inductive Structuring).
8
From: "Deductive Structuring"
Split Justification: Deductive structuring inherently involves two distinct phases: first, laying out the foundational general premises or assumptions upon which the argument rests, and second, logically deriving the specific conclusion that necessarily follows from those established premises. This dichotomy separates the input conditions from the output consequence of a deductive argument.
9
From: "Establishing Premise Sets"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between premises established through sensory experience, observation, or verifiable data (empirical) and those established through definitions, logical truths, axioms, or abstract principles (conceptual). Together, these two categories comprehensively cover the fundamental sources for establishing premises in deductive reasoning.
10
From: "Empirical Premise Formation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between empirical premises formed based on an individual's own first-hand sensory observations and personal experiences versus those formed from information gathered, processed, and reported by others (e.g., scientific studies, statistics, expert testimony, historical records). This comprehensively covers all sources of empirical data for premise formation.
11
From: "From Mediated Data and Reports"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the process of forming empirical premises from information presented as direct observations, measurements, or recorded facts (even if mediated and summarized) from premises formed using the analyses, interpretations, or conclusions drawn by the authors of the mediated reports. These represent two distinct types of content extractable from mediated sources for premise formation.
12
From: "From Interpreted Analyses and Conclusions"
Split Justification: This split categorizes interpreted analyses and conclusions based on the fundamental methodological paradigm employed for their derivation. Quantitatively interpreted analyses rely on numerical data, statistical methods, and measurement to draw conclusions about magnitudes, frequencies, and statistical relationships. Qualitatively interpreted analyses rely on non-numerical data, thematic understanding, and in-depth exploration of meaning and experience to draw conclusions about patterns, themes, and narratives. These two approaches represent distinct modes of empirical interpretation, are largely mutually exclusive in their primary methodology, and collectively encompass the full range of how interpreted analyses and conclusions are formed from mediated data.
