+ | Links between verbal and non-verbal representations are called **//referential connections//** and connections within each of those two systems are called //associative connections//. Referential connections enable performing operations like imaging to words and namings to pictures or images to words. For example, associations of an image of a school building or an unpleasant feeling (both non-verbal entities) elicited by the word //school// (a verbal entity). Associative connections on the other hand enable forming verbal-verbal or non-verbal-non-verbal associations. For example, the word //school// can elicit verbal entities //blackboard//, or //boredom//. | ||
