Human mentation involves multiple formats of thought, which are connected substantially but partially, and may operate within or outside of awareness. The modes of thought include symbolic processes which are discrete representations with properties of reference and generativity, and which may be images or words, and subsymbolic components which are continuous in format and based on analogic relationships. The organization of experience is based on memory schemas, including emotion schemas organized through episodes that involve related sensory and bodily experiences with particular people in particular contexts. The referential process is a set of bidirectional functions that enable connection between the subsymbolic components operating in multiple sensory channels and the discrete single channel verbal code. The process involves three major functions: Arousal, the activation of an emotion schema not yet in symbolic form; Symbolizing, describing an event in which the schema has been activated; and Reflection/Reorganizing, exploring and elaborating the emotional meaning of such an event. The concepts of the theory concern psychological aspects of thought, but are potentially mappable onto the underlying neural structure.
人类的思维涉及多种形式的思维，这些思维在很大程度上是相互关联的，但又不完全相关，它们可能在意识内或意识外运作。思维模式包括具有指称和生成性等属性的离散表示形式的符号过程，这些符号可以是图像或词语，以及格式连续且基于类比关系的亚符号成分。经验的组织基于记忆图式，包括通过涉及特定人物和特定情境中的相关感官和身体体验的情节组织起来的情感图式。参照过程是一组双向功能，使在多个感觉通道中运行的亚符号成分与离散的单通道言语代码之间能够连接。该过程涉及三个主要功能：唤醒，激活尚未以符号形式存在的情感图式；符号化，描述已激活图式的事件；以及反思/重新组织，探索和详细说明此类事件的情感意义。该理论的概念涉及思维的心理方面，但有可能映射到潜在的神经结构上。
