What are submodalities in NLP?
Answer: Fine distinctions within each representational system that give experiences their unique qualities
Submodalities are the fine distinctions (such as brightness, volume, or location) within each representational system that structure and give meaning to internal experiences.
Which representational system is primarily associated with internal self-talk or inner dialogue?
Answer: Auditory Digital (Ad)
Auditory Digital (Ad) refers to the internal dialogue—the words and language we use to narrate and talk to ourselves internally.
What is a 'driver submodality' in NLP?
Answer: A submodality that, when changed, automatically shifts all other related submodalities
A driver submodality is the critical distinction that, when changed, causes all other submodalities in the experience to shift automatically.
In Visual submodalities, which quality most commonly affects the emotional intensity of a recalled memory?
Answer: The brightness of the image
Brightness is frequently identified as a key driver submodality that directly affects the emotional intensity of a visual memory in NLP practice.
What does the acronym VAKOG represent in NLP?
Answer: Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory
VAKOG stands for Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory, and Gustatory—the five sensory representational systems recognized in NLP.
The NLP Swish Pattern primarily works by:
Answer: Rapidly replacing the submodality structure of a problem trigger image with a compelling positive image
The Swish Pattern works by rapidly substituting the submodality structure of a problem trigger with a compelling positive self-image, redirecting the brain's automatic response pattern.
What is 'calibration' as it relates to sensory acuity in NLP?
Answer: The ability to notice and accurately read another person's external behavioral cues
Calibration is the NLP skill of noticing fine external behavioral cues—such as skin color changes, muscle tone, and breathing—to accurately read another person's internal state.
