Representational systems (also known as sensory modalities and abbreviated to VAKOG or known as the 4-tuple) is a postulated model from neuro-linguistic programming regarding how the human mind supposedly processes and stores information. The central idea of this model is that experience is represented in the mind in sensorial terms, i.e. in terms of the putative five senses. According to Bandler and Grinder our chosen words, phrases and sentences are indicative of our referencing of each of the representational systems. So for example the words "black", "clear", "spiral" and "image" reference the ''visual'' representation system; similarly the words "tinkling", "silent", "squeal" and "blast" reference the ''auditory'' representation system.〔 Bandler and Grinder also propose that ostensibly metaphorical or figurative language indicates a reference to a representational system such that it is actually ''literal''. For example, the comment "I see what you're saying" is taken to indicate a visual representation. Further, Bandler and Grinder claim that each person has a "most highly valued" (now commonly termed ''preferred'') representational system in which they are more able to vividly create an experience (in their mind) in terms of that representational system, tend to use that representational system more often than the others, and have more distinctions available in that representation system than the others. So for example a person that most highly values their visual representation system is able to easily and vividly visualise things and has a tendency to do so in preference to creating or recreating an experience in terms of the other representational system. Representational systems are one of the foundational ideas of NLP and form the basis of many NLP techniques and methods. ==Representational systems within NLP== According to NLP, for many practical purposes mental processing of events and memories can be treated as if performed by the five senses. For example, Einstein credited his discovery of special relativity to a mental visualization strategy of "sitting on the end of a ray of light", and many people as part of decision-making ''talk to themselves'' in their heads. The manner in which this is done, and the effectiveness of the mental strategy employed, is stated by NLP to play a critical part in the way mental processing takes place. This observation led to the concept of a ''preferred'' representational system, the classification of people into fixed ''visual'', ''auditory'' or ''kinesthetic'' stereotypes. This idea was later discredited and dropped within NLP by the early 1980s, in favor of the understanding that most people use all of their senses (whether consciously or unconsciously), and that whilst one system may seem to dominate, this is often contextualized - globally there is a balance that dynamically varies according to circumstance and mood. NLP asserts that for most circumstances and most people, three of the five sensory based modes seem to dominate in mental processing: * ''visual'' thoughts - sight, mental imagery, spatial awareness * ''auditory'' (or linguistic) thoughts - sound, speech, dialog, white noise * ''kinesthetic'' (or proprioceptive) sense - somatic feelings in the body, temperature, pressure, and also emotion. The other two senses, gustatory (taste) and olfactory (smell), which are closely associated, often seem to be less significant in general mental processing, and are often considered jointly as one. For this reason, one often sees the term ''VAK'' in NLP reference texts, to signify these three primary representational systems, as well as the term ''4-tuple'' (or ''VAKOG'') if the author wishes to include all senses including taste/smell. The same term is also known as ''First Access'' (John Grinder), or ''primary experience'' (Freud). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Representational systems (NLP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
