What are the representational systems in NLP?
What do we mean by that phrase?
What does it refer to?
How we mentally code information using the sensory systems: Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory and Gustatory
What is a 4-tuple?
What does that strange phrase mean?
A shorthand method used to notate the structure of experience. Any experience must be composed of some combination of the four primary representational classes: A = auditory, V = visual, K = kinaesthetic and O = olfactory/gustatory.
How are the sensory systems of visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc. important to a model of communication?
How does knowing about the VAK help us communicate better?

How is that number important in terms of communication?
Answer
How do we access a state in another person?

Answer
Describe the Circle (Sphere) of Excellence pattern and how it operates.
When would this be a useful pattern?
Answer
What is the Swish pattern? How does it work?
Answer
What does the Swish pattern do for us or another?
When would you use it?
With the Swish Technique you change how memories or worries affect you. If the negative thought evokes a powerful feeling you can ‘disconnect’ this feeling from the thought and replace it with a more empowering feeling.It creates a new direction for the brain to go into.
Use it for: negative thoughts and feelings about:
The past: e.g. feelings from embarrassing or irritating memories; The present: e.g. feelings provoked by self-undermining thoughts and The future: e.g. anxiety-provoking thoughts about forthcoming situations.
What does it mean to anchor in NLP?
How does this process of anchoring work?
The process by which any stimulus or representation (internal or external) gets connected to and so triggers a response.
Process: Establish rapport; Explain the process: Elicit and anchor the desired experience: Break state: Test anchor by firing it
What are the key variables in being able to anchor with precision and effectiveness?
Known as the 4 keys: Uniqueness of anchor; Intensity - the moment you anchor ; Purity - discrete and Precision timing
What does the following language mean in NLP:
- Firing an anchor,
- Setting an anchor,
- Making an anchor redundant in all systems?
- Activating or firing the anchor means producing the anchor after it has been conditioned so that the resourceful state occurs.
- Setting is creating the anchor i.e. producing the stimuli (the anchor) when the resourceful state is experienced so that the resourceful state is paired to the anchor.
- Anchor in all systems to create redundancy
What are the four perceptual positions in NLP?
Why are these important?
Self; Other; Meta and System. A fifth one is the Universe
There are multiple positions in perceiving things. When you step into each one of these, you access a different state and a different way of perceiving things.
How does a person move between the perceptual positions?
What’s the critical variable that facilitates this?
Movement is via referencing and association/disassociation:
Self - total self-reference
Other - total other-reference
Meta (external viewer) - totally disassociated
System - Associated into system
Universe - Multiple positions and rapidly changing
What do the words, associate and dissociate mean in NLP?
What simpler words has Neuro-Semantics offered in their stead?
Associate: This is when you are really present to a feeling or relationship you have with the memory of an experience. You will be “inside” the experience with all the sensory awareness that go with it, therefore in touch to that memory or event.
Disassociate: This is an unattached relationship with a memory - unattached to you in feeling or critical importance.
In NS we refer to stepping in and out of an experience
What is the SCORE model? Who developed it and what is its value?
What do the letters stand for?
The letters of SCORE stand for Symptoms, Causes, Outcomes, Resources, and Effects.
Robert Dilts developed the SCORE model as an NLP tool for working effectively in moving from present state to some desired state.
What is the Movie Rewind pattern?
What are some of the other names for this pattern in NLP?
The Movie Rewind pattern recodes our mindbody-
emotion system so that when we simple “think” about something, it will no longer evoke or induce a phobic state, or out-of-control semantic reactions. We can think and feel comfortable. It takes the negative emotional charge out of a memory or thought.
Also known as the “Fast Phobia Cure”
What are some of the central mechanisms that explain how the Movie Rewind pattern works?
It works because we layer level upon level of resources upon the original primary state.
What does it mean to Collapse Anchors?
How does this pattern work?
As we work with states, we either build up neurological energies or we disperse those energies. Building up energies is amplifying states, eliciting sub-modalities that juice them up, bringing in resources, meta-stating, etc. Dispersing energies means tearing a neuro-linguistic
(mind-body) program apart, deframing it, meta-modeling it. And we can use collapsing of anchors for that.
What is the Visual Squash pattern and how does it work?
The Visual Aquash create an integration of warring parts. When we have two conflicting internal representations of something, the differing representations may set up
differing programs for believing, perceiving, emoting and behaving. They may run conflicting neurological patterns so that we try to use two conflicting responses at the
same time. The Visual Squash is used to integrate two simultaneous models of the world.
How does the Collapse Anchors pattern work?
- Access a state
- Access a contradictory state
- Fire both anchors simultaneously
- Refresh the resourceful state
