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 Written Text"
Split Justification: This split differentiates between comprehending the explicit meaning of individual lexical items (words) and comprehending the explicit meaning derived from how these words are grammatically arranged within sentences to form propositions. Both are essential components of literal comprehension of written text, covering the basic units of meaning and their combinatorial rules.
9
From: "Understanding of Sentence Structure and Grammatical Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the understanding of the internal make-up and classification of individual syntactic units (phrases, parts of speech) from the understanding of how these units functionally relate to each other and integrate into the broader, hierarchical structure of a full sentence. One focuses on the components, the other on their interplay and overall architecture.
10
From: "Understanding of Grammatical Relations and Clause Integration"
Split Justification: The understanding of grammatical relations and clause integration can be fundamentally divided into comprehending the formal, structural arrangement of words and clauses (syntax) and interpreting the resulting meaning, semantic roles, and logical relationships between clauses (semantics). This dichotomy covers both the 'how it's built' and 'what it means' aspects of linguistic comprehension.
11
From: "Understanding of Semantic Interpretation and Logical Connections"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the understanding of the direct, stated meaning of individual linguistic units (words, phrases, and clauses) from the understanding of how those units are explicitly linked together by specific logical markers and connectives within a text. One focuses on the 'what' is said, the other on the 'how' different parts of 'what' is said relate through explicit textual cues.
12
From: "Understanding of Explicit Logical Connectives"
Split Justification: This dichotomy differentiates between explicit logical connectives primarily defined by their truth-functional properties (e.g., and, or, if...then) and those that primarily function to structure discourse by expressing causal, concessive, temporal, or other pragmatic relationships beyond mere truth values (e.g., because, although, therefore). These two categories represent distinct linguistic and logical functions, are mutually exclusive in their primary definition, and collectively cover the scope of explicit logical connectives.
