Generalisation              A Generalisation is the process by which words are grouped into higher classifications. A leopard may be classified as a cat and so might be a lion or the domestic cat, the term 'Cat' in this example is a genrealisation that comtains several species.

                                  Generalisation occurs when one specific experience represents a whole class of experiences. Generalisation also occurs when one experience is generalised to the whole.

                                  In language construction, not all generalisations are valid and the role of the Meta Model would be to de-generalise a statement to find the specific element from which the generalisation arose. One of the three major processes (including Distortion and Deletion) on which the Meta Model is based.

                                  The main generalisations in the Meta Model are 'Universal Quantifiers'; all or nothing words such as "all", "nothing", "nobody", "everybody" etc, the others being the 'Modal Operators of Necessity and Possibility'.

Gestalt                        From is German for “pattern”, “figure”, “shape”, or “form” but not precisely translatable. In English it hasa transformed into 'Wholeness' It is used to refer to wholes, systems and complete structures rather than the reductionist approach of seeking ever smaller components of a phenomenon.

                                  IN NLP it refers to a collection of memories around a certain topic.

Gustatory (G)              The Sensory Representational System that deals with taste.

In Time                       An In Time lives "In the time" and does not dissociate past or future from present. They can be exttremly laid back and not place any importance on time, on being somewhere or not planniong time to do what needs to be done; ot, conversely may react to planning a future event in relating to what resources we have now, and not allowing for time to gather the resources for the future.

                                  An In Time person will prefer to code their memories from front to back, up to down, in a ‘V’ or any arrangement where part of the past, present or future is behind or inside them.

James, Tad                  Developer and trainer of NLP. Tad has written several books including 'Time-Lines and the Basis of Personality' and 'Hypnosis, A Comprehensive Guide'.

James, William             January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910. Instrumental in the development of Behaviourist Theory on the United States. One of his contributions was the notion that emotions are dictated by our actions and physiology, not as most people would have it, that our actions are detrmined by our emotions. A stance that Anthony Robbins takes in his Neuro-Associative-Conditioning (NAC) in the notion that "Emotion is governed by emotion".

                                  From Joseph LeDoux's description of William James's 'Emotion'

                                  Why do we run away if we notice that we are in danger? Because we are afraid of what will happen if we don't. This obvious (and incorrect) answer to a seemingly trivial question has been the central concern of a century-old debate about the nature of our emotions.

                                  It all began in 1884 when William James published an article titled "What Is an Emotion?" The article appeared in a philosophy journal called Mind, as there were no psychology journals yet. It was important, not because it definitively answered the question it raised, but because of the way in which James phrased his response. He conceived of an emotion in terms of a sequence of events that starts with the occurrence of an arousing stimulus {the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system or the parasympathetic branch of the Autonomic Nervous System; and ends with a passionate feeling, a conscious emotional experience. A major goal of emotion research is still to elucidate this stimulus-to-feeling sequence—to figure out what processes come between the stimulus and the feeling.

                                  James set out to answer his question by asking another: do we run from a bear because we are afraid or are we afraid because we run? He proposed that the obvious answer, that we run because we are afraid, was wrong, and instead argued that we are afraid because we run:

Jung, Carl Gustav:        An In Time person will prefer to code their memories from front to back, up to down, in a ‘V’ or any arrangement where part of the past, present or future is behind or inside them.A Swiss Psychiatrist 26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961 responsible for the creation of Anylitical Psychology after a break from Freud and Psycho-Analysis.

                                  He is well known for his work on Pychological Archetypes and his work on extroversion and introversion, which are part of the cornerstone of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and cited in Tad James & Wyatt Woodsmall book, Time-Lines and the Basis of Personality, as the basic Meta-Programs.
