“…Internal representations have an explicit layer that is conscious, overt, and subject to verbal expression (Rudy and Grusec, 2006), as well as an implicit layer, which is unconscious, covert, and non-verbal (Stern, 2004;Araneda et al, 2010;Greenwald and Banaji, 2017). The implicit components consist of procedural information processing principles, behavioral strategies, and physiological regulation mechanisms (Fraley, 2002;Crittenden, 2006;Jones, et al, 2018), which in the course of an individual's life manifest themselves as feelings, emotions, and behaviors, while remaining less conscious, less accessible to verbal expression (Fonagy, 2001;St Quinton and Brunton, 2017;Gavron and Mayseless, 2018), less conscious, and less manageable.…”
