- W222700094 abstract "particular peepholes that define [our] outlook on world become too small for [us] to its large and exciting horizons. --Wendell Johnson (1946, p. 30) Abstraction When we abstract, we select small portions of reality to attend to and leave out rest. In abstraction process, our senses and locations, not to mention previous training and experiences, limit we encounter of that is going on in world. Bois (1978) created acronym from phrase what is going on, using it to represent all known levels of existence, from atomic elements to galactic spirals racing away from one another (p. 78). use WIGO whenever refer to a world in process--the constant changing of microscopic and submicroscopic levels of existence. Korzybski (2000) used a rotary fan to demonstrate impact of our senses on perceptual accuracy in this ever-changing environment. He selected this simple demonstration because it showed that we see may not be is really there. As Korzybski (2000) argued. Let us recall, in this connection, familiar example of a rotary fan, which is made up of separate radial blades, but which, when rotating with a certain velocity, gives impression of a solid disk. In this case disk is not reality, but a nervous integration, or abstraction from rotating blades. We not only disk where there is no disk, but, if blades rotate fast enough, we could not throw sand through them, as sand would be too slow to get through before being struck by one of blades, (p. 382) Similarly, our other senses may lead us astray. For instance, when was a young child, my grandparents encouraged me to taste something when was visiting them in Florida. ate looked and smelled like fried chicken; basing that smell and looks on my previous dining experiences, assumed that it was chicken. However, when my grandfather explained that was eating legs, gagged. was fairly certain at time that frog that my cousin and chased around backyard did not belong on my dinner plate! Even though it was not logical, my emotional demonstrates why Korzybski (2000) coined term reaction (p. 24). He proposed that we use intellect and emotion during abstraction, and, thereby, create meaning as a whole being--as an organism-as-a-whole-in-the-environment (Korzybski, p. liii). Similarly, Pula (2000) explained a semantic as the total ('emotional'-'intellectual,' psycho-logical) response of a human organism to a given (p. 16-17). Another option for remembering to account for both an intellectual and emotional response during abstraction is to use verb think--jeel--evaluate (Institute of General Semantics Seminar, 2002). This hyphenated verb clearly alerts people of their abstracting. How might a debate about an assault weapons ban be enhanced by each person remembering I think--feel--evaluate during a heated argument? This hyphenated verb reminds individuals to account for intellectual, emotional, and evaluative nature of their responses, perhaps it could also encourage about how others abstract. Even when we are aware that we think--feel--evaluate, Chisholm (1945) cautioned that our nervous systems often report facts, even though we are making inferences, because of past conditioning: The point is, we don't really come to a new experience, whatever that new experience is, with an absolutely untrained nervous system, and 'open mind.' We just don't come to a situation without ourselves having a history, a trained set of habitual reactions (p. 9). Our senses and previous training, thus, limit we experience of WIGO. Recently, Christof Koch, a neurobiologist, underscored impact of our nervous systems: We're now beginning to understand that in my head is actually constructed by my head, by my neurons (as cited in Stockdale, 2009b, p. …" @default.
