Process between Mind ProcessesThe objective of the research was to verify a
postulate of a theory of mind processes. The
postulate stated that the mediating process of the
mind processes comprises of diffusion, absorption,
and assimilation through bursts of information. The
data were obtained from videotaped sessions. The
number of subjects was 78. Reliability of
observation was assessed with the help of the
coefficients of determination and alienation in
comparison with the randomized variables. The proper
analysis device was conditional probability.
Patterns occurred that enabled to indicate that
diffusion, absorption, and assimilation are real
processes between other mind processes; such as the
initial form, the mental shape, the mindy, and the
configuration. Thus the postulate has a high
probability of verification that makes it needless to
patch the wholes of the preliminary theory,
logically. The next phase is to find out the
associations of the entire preliminary construction
or the 8 processes with adult data.
