| | According to NLP theory, certain eye movements are associated with specific types of thoughts or mental processes. For example, looking up to the left is said to be associated with accessing visual memories, while looking down to the right is said to be associated with accessing auditory memories. NLP practitioners may use eye movements as part of an assessment of a person's thoughts and emotional state, and may also use eye movement techniques as a way to help people change their thoughts or behaviors. |

| In documenting mental strategies and processing by the senses, NLP practitioners often use a simple shorthand for different modalities, with a letter indicating the representation system concerned, and often, a superscript to indicate how that system is being used. Three key aspects are commonly notated: The ''representation system'' being used (visual/V, auditory/A, kinesthetic/K, and occasionally, O/G), whether the ''direction of attention'' is internal <sup>(i)</sup> or external <sup>(e)</sup>, and whether the event is a ''recollection'' of an actual past event <sup>(r)</sup> or ''construction'' of an imaginary event <sup>(c)</sup>. Due to its importance in human cognitive processing, auditory internal dialogue, or talking in one's head, has its own shorthand: A<sup>id</sup>. | In documenting mental strategies and processing by the senses, NLP practitioners often use a simple shorthand for different modalities, with a letter indicating the representation system concerned, and often, a superscript to indicate how that system is being used.
