NLP 词汇 (NLP Glossary)
Accessing cues
Accessing cues or Eye accessing cues or Eye Movements, it is the strategy identified by Richard Bandler and John Grinder.
It is believed that when eye moves in a specific direction, it often seems to link with a specific kind of internal or mental processing. There are some common patterns of eye accessing cues:
Upwards (left/right) – Visual (V)
Level (left/right) – Auditory (A)
Down-right – Kinesthetic (K)
Down-left Auditory internal dialogue (Ad)
Analogue
Continuously variable between limits, like a dimmer switch for a light. In NLP, it refers to the use of sensory representations when thinking.
Anchoring
The process by which any stimulus or representation (external or internal) becomes connected to and triggers a response. Anchors can occur naturally, or we can set them up intentionally.
“As if” frame
Pretending that some event has happened, thinking ‘as if’ it had occurred, encourages creative problem-solving by mentally going beyond apparent obstacles to desired solutions.
Associated
Inside an experience, seeing through your own eyes, fully in your senses.
Auditory
To do with the sense of hearing.
Backtracking
Reviewing or summarizing, using another’s key words and tonalities.
Behaviour
Any activity that we engage in, including thought processes.
Beliefs
The generalizations we make about the world and our operating principles in it.
Calibration
Accurately recognizing another person’s state by reading non-verbal signals.
Capability
A successful strategy for carrying out a task.
Chunking (stepping)
Changing your perception by going up or down a logical level. Stepping up means going up to a level that includes what you are studying. Stepping down entails going to a level below for a more specific example of what you are studying. We can do this on the basis of member and class, or part and whole.
Complex equivalence
Two statements considered to mean the same thing, such as ‘He is not looking at me, so he is not listening to what I say.’
Congruence
State of being unified, and completely sincere, with all aspects of a person working together towards an outcome.
Conscious
Anything in present-moment awareness.
Content reframing
Taking a statement and giving it another meaning by focusing on another part of the content, asking: ‘What else could this mean?’
Context reframing

Conversational postulate

Dissociated
Not in experience; seeing or hearing events from the outside.
Distortion
The process by which we inaccurately represent something in internal experience in a limiting way.
Dovetailing outcomes
The process of fitting together different outcomes, optimizing solutions; the basis of win-win negotiations.
Downtime
In a light trance state with your attention directed inwards to your own thoughts and feelings rather than the immediate world around you, as in daydreaming.

Meta
Existing at a different logical level to something else. Derived from the Greek, meaning ‘over and beyond’.

Metaphor
Indirect communication by means of a story or figure of speech implying a comparison. In NLP, metaphor includes similes, parables and allegories.
