Introduction to 
Psycholinguistics 
Our language and our mind
What’s Psycholinguistics? 
Psycholinguistics is the study of the 
psychological and neurobiological 
factors that enable humans to acquire, 
use, comprehend and produce 
language
3 Presuppositions 
1. People have different Experience 
2. Experience forms Mind 
3. Mind and Language are connected
Frame of reference 
High/Low focus on People
Frame of Reference 
Internal External
Internal/Self-referencing 
▪ Evaluate things on the basis of what they think as 
appropriate 
▪ Own decisions, actions and results
External/Other-referencing 
▪ Evaluate things on the basis of what other think 
▪ Look to others for guidance, information, 
motivation, and decisions 
▪ Need feedback and information from others to 
make decisions
Frame of Reference 
It’s not the point It’s the range 
Internal External
Frame of reference: Language 
Internal 
▪ I, Me, My 
External 
▪ You, We, Our
Frame of reference: Questions 
▪ How do you know that you have done a good job? 
▪ How do you know that you have chosen the right bank? 
▪ When it comes to decision making, how do you 
generally go about it? 
▪ What kind of information do you want in making 
decisions? 
▪ What is the right process to make decision in the 
company?
Philosophical Direction 
High/Low focus on Process

▪ Sources 
How 
▪ Facts 
▪ Procedures

▪ “How to”
Why/How - Questions 
▪ What are your steps to resolve important issue? 
▪ Why did you choose your car? 
▪ When you receive new tools during training, what is 
more important to know: why it works or how to 
use it? 
▪ When do you think about a subject, do you first 
think about origins/causation, or do you think about 
use/function?
Philosophical direction 
It’s not the point It’s the range 
Why How
Attention! 
▪ Don’t make decision based on one question and 
answer! 
▪ One frame can not show the whole picture!

4 Stages of competence 
Model from the Gordon Training International
Competence: Stage 1 
Unconscious 
incompetence
Unconscious incompetence 
▪ The individual does not understand or know how to 
do something and does not necessarily recognize 
the deficit 
▪ The individual must recognize their own 
incompetence, and the value of the new skill, 
before moving on to the next stage 
▪ The length of time an individual spends in this stage 
depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn
Competence: Stage 2 
Unconscious 
incompetence 
Conscious 
incompetence
Conscious incompetence 
▪ Though the individual does not understand or know 
how to do something, he or she does recognize the 
deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in 
addressing the deficit 
▪ The making of mistakes can be integral to the 
learning process at this stage
Competence: Stage 3 
Unconscious 
incompetence 
Conscious 
competence 
Conscious 
incompetence
Conscious competence 
▪ The individual understands or knows how to do 
something. However, demonstrating the skill or 
knowledge requires concentration 
▪ It may be broken down into steps, and there is 
heavy conscious involvement in executing the new 
skill
Competence: Stage 4 
Unconscious 
incompetence 
Conscious 
competence 
Conscious 
incompetence 
Unconscious 
competence
Unconscious competence 
▪ The individual has had so much refining practice 
with a skill that he or she does not really need to 
think about what to do 
▪ The individual has become so comfortable with the 
skill she/he will often be able to teach it to others
How to develop competence? 
▪ Define the stage 
▪ Show the current stage 
▪ Discuss how to move to the net stage
Commitment 
Personal motivation
How can we motivate already? 
1. Use defined frame of reference 
2. Use right philosophical direction 
3. Help to develop competence 
4. Find people with right motivation
Direction Sort 
What is motivation?
Direction Sort 
Away from Toward
Away from (Avoidance) 
▪ Move away from what they disvalue 
▪ Focus on what they want to avoid 
▪ Have more difficulty with goals and managing their 
priorities
Toward (Approach) 
▪ Move toward their desired outcomes 
▪ Feel motivated to achieve 
▪ Have more difficulty in recognizing what they 
should avoid
Away from/Toward - Language 
Away from

▪ Exclude words (stay clear of, 
get rid of, stay away from, 
avoid, don’t need) 
Toward 
▪ Goals 
▪ Specific wants 
▪ Include words (gain, have, get, 
attain, achieve)
Away from/Toward - Questions

▪ When you get peace, what does that mean to you?
Away from/Toward 
It’s not the point It’s the range 
Away from Toward
Choosing the right style for 
organization 
Situational leadership in consultancy
3 types of service companies 
1. Procedural 
2. Brain 
3. Grey hair 
David H. Maister «Managing the Professional Service 
Firm»
Procedural 
▪ Work for which the solution/approach is well 
known, can be delegated to less experienced staff 
and to some extent the range of answers can even 
be ‘prescribed’ 
▪ The key to selling this work is its efficiency
Brain 
▪ Work that requires a lot of creativity 
▪ Calling for professional expertise and for which little 
can be specified in advance
Gray hair 
▪ Equally unique and difficult to proceduralise 
▪ The delivery of the solution is based on the 
experience and breadth of the professional
Procedural – Leadership style? 
▪ Big percentage of unexperienced staff 
▪ Formal procedures 
▪ Repetitive tasks 
▪ We focus on process 
1. Telling 
2. Selling (if we need to increase commitment)
Brain – Leadership style? 
▪ Big percentage of really experienced people 
▪ Informal procedures 
▪ Creative tasks 
▪ We have motivated and experienced people 
1. Delegating 
2. Participating (if we need to increase commitment)
Gray hair – leadership style? 
▪ Amount of juniors – between Procedural and Brain 
▪ Experienced but not so creative people 
▪ We focus on motivation: 
1. Participating 
2. Selling (if we need to improve processes)
