NLP Glossary - Major Models and Elements
- The Meta Model
- The Meta model is a language model for changing our maps of the world. Its purpose is to make unconscious material conscious. We cause many of our problems by our unconscious rule governed behavior.
- The Milton Model
- Also known as Conversational Hypnosis?. Bandler and Grinder modeled Milton Erickson to create this hypnosis model. By distracting the conscious mind using abstract vague language we can communicate directly to the unconscious.
- NLP Modeling
- The ideas and techniques underlying NLP came from modeling extraordinary therapists and thinkers, but also ordinary people who did useful things (like responding to criticism) well.
- Representational Systems
- Representational systems are our internal senses. We "re-present" what we experience on the outside on our internal mental screen. Our external senses (our seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting) match our internal senses.
- Submodalities
- Within our representations are fine distinctions such as color, location and size. They help us remember what we have seen, heard, felt, smelt and tasted both externally and imagined. This coding in our thinking effects meaning and changes how we react.
- NLP Strategies
- The basis of NLP Modeling is the finding the steps someone uses to achieve something in order to duplicate his or her result. That is sequences of images, sounds, sensations, internal dialogue, tastes and smells.
- Meta Programs
- Meta programs are a person's typical patterns in their strategies or thinking styles. They guide and direct our thought process and behavior. They are the programs, which guide and direct other processes (hence the "Meta"). They play a key part in our personality.

- Accessing Cues
- The evidence of our internal mental processing. When someone accesses their visual processing we can see it in their eye movements for instance. We call these Eye accessing cues. Other cues include posture, gestures and breathing.
- Action Filter
- Meta Program: Our acting and reflecting style
- Activity Sort
- Meta Program: Primary Interest Sort: Primary interest is in doing.
- Ambiguities
- Milton Model: Words or phrases that have more than one meaning. This distracts the conscious mind. There are four types, phonological, punctuation, syntactic and scope.
- Analogue
- Most Submodalities vary continuously. For example, sound can change from loud to soft. Light can change from bright to dim. Temperature is not just hot or cold, but many degrees in between. Submodalities which don't vary (but are like a switch or toggle) include association/dissociation, color/black and white and framed/panoramic.
- Analogue Marking
- Marking out a part of a sentence with some nonverbal behavior. See Milton Model Embedded Commands
- Anchoring
- NLP Technique: Setting a trigger for emotional states and resources
- Anchor
- Any stimulus associated with a specific response. Anchored responses happen all the time and are usually set up naturally and unintentionally. Marketers link brands to desired emotions or experiences. We see a bottle of Coke and think happy smiling people.
Anchors can serve or hinder us. We see a red traffic light and stomp on the brake. The referee's whistle blows and we pay attention. The alarm clock goes off and we leap out of bed. The theme for our favourite show comes on and we go to fridge. - Anthony Robbins
- Famous NLP Trainer and master of positive states
- Association
- Submodality: Probably the most important type of submodality.
- Attention Direction
- Meta Program: Sorting by self or others Do you mostly put your attention on the needs of others, or your own needs?
- Auditory Digital Processing
- Representational System: The language and actual words that we use to describe what is going on in our other senses.
- Auditory System Processing
- Representational System: Processing sound is linear and sequential. It cannot process as much information as visual system processing.
- Away From Motivation Direction
- Meta Program: People who move away from what they don't want are motivated by problems to solve or threats to avoid.

- Behavioral Presuppositions
- Milton Model: A behavior that elicits a response.
- Holding out your hand to shake
- Indicating a seat with a hand gesture
- Patting the chair next to you
- Beliefs
- Body Language
- Our non verbal communication involving the body. Includes our gestures, movements, posture, facial expression and eye accessing cues. It can show how the person is processing (which representational system) and also indicates their state (particularly facial expression).
- Brain
- Controls the rest of our body.
