A Theory of the Microdynamics of Occurrent Thought (T2) is based on
a reflective analysis of occurrent thoughts (OTs) in the spirit of
phenomenological philosophy and proposes that such thoughts consist
of a specific combination of ten or fewer micro phases possessing
phenomenal contents that are so brief that most of us are unaware
of their existence. The theory specifies the "movements" of an
operating I or central executive in, as, and among these phases in
the service of "processing" their contents by fleetingly "becoming"
them, followed by one of several transitions of attention that
bring about different degrees of their objectification. The
relatively fixed sequences of the phases of OTs, along with an
operating I's immersion in and "face-up" or "face-down" surfacing
from their phenomenal contents, form a structure that carries and
drives "on-line" cognition, supporting the view that they play a
causal role in human information processing. Two categories, two
forms, and fifteen different types of OTs are defined based on the
transitions of an operating I therein. This book includes detailed
illustrations of the different types of OTs.
