[Neurons] "Frames" In NLP and Neuro-Semantics

[Dr. Hall]

From: L. Michael Hall

"Frame" in Neuro-Semantics describes any and all "frames of mind" or "frames of meaning" that we use to make sense of and understand something else.  So every belief is a frame, so is every value, every decision, every memory, etc. 

And since we can also use any model as a frame of mind/meaning --- this means the Meta-Model, Meta-Programs, Meta-States, etc. can operate as frames.  So can NLP, General Semantics, Cognitive linguistics, the Meta-Coaching System, any model.

In the book, Winning the Inner Game (alias Frame Games) the frame metaphor starts with a reference ---a referent event.  We then bring that referent event inside and represent it as a movie or snapshot of something.  When we then use that as a frame of reference for understanding something else, it becomes a frame of reference and then a frame of mind/ meaning, etc.

In NLP Gregory Bateson introduced the idea of frame and frames.  Hope that helps a bit in understanding the use of frames.
        Winning the Inner Game (2007) is the new updated version of Frame Games.

        




  Hi Martin,

   

  I'm very much a novice exploring this world of neuro-semantics and I wouldn't want to give any definite answers to your questions.  Like you, I'm keen to receive feedback.  Questions help me think about things from a different point of view and that is what your questions did.  

  It seems to me that we can have belief frames  -  frames where the content is beliefs.   Perhaps we can also have frames where the content is something else  -  perhaps the content could be speech patterns or colour combinations or the way we see time.    I don't want to diminish the power of beliefs, just to explore a difference in meaning between frames and beliefs.  

  I guess anything could be called a framework, even NLP.  Whether or not it is a useful framework is another question. 

   

  Going away from your topic a little, I find the word 'belief' does itself arouse all kinds of non-useful emotions.  The most common one I encounter in talking with people is its connection with religion and, in general, it's a big turn-off.  

   

  (Martin - se vc seja brasileiro, o seu ingles e otimo!)  

   

  Regards, 

   

  Graham.
