Semantic framing maybe a useful way to go, but I am not sure that would
pick up on the distinction accurately.
I do not see that the pedagogic aspects are central to my question, unless
it so happens that the channel through which the conceptual appreciations
are acquired retain communicative style.
The distinction I am interested in, from a psychological perspective, is
relating to memories "as is" or to relate to one's recollections actively
(thinking). Hence there is room for confusion around learning conceptual
material -- one can repeat the formulation that a square's sides are of
equal length in a rather unthinking way.
For example, I think we can discern at times when people speak in a
reflective, thoughtful and exploratory way as opposed to a dogmatic or
"everyday" (normative) manner.
Jay's book with the transcripts may be useful, thanks. I don't have too
much time to wade through theoretical frameworks right now. Transcripts
with analysis revealing this distinction is what I'm after.
Thanks for your prompts, and interest, David.
