Internalized: meaning to internalize a behaviour or 'problem'. See externalized in Narrative Therapy. Narrative therapy is a form of psychotherapy with an approach to helping people that was developed during (and has evolved since) the 1970s and 1980s, in good part by Australian Michael White and his friend and colleague, David Epston, of New Zealand. ...
I distinguish potentially internal regularities that are close to the laws of physics, such as dynamic invariants; specific but highly abstracted rules, such as kinematic geometry; more general rules, such as the Gestalt principles; and unspecific and highly abstracted regularities, such as Bayesian probabilities.
If internalization is understood as a principle of abstraction that is prevalent in situations of underspecified perception, it must be legitimate to extend it to the realm of intuitive physics where perception and cognition overlap.
I have argued that internalization, interpreted in a narrow sense, is false.
