In-depth analysis of Categories 2, 3 and 4. Forms of self-motivation (PF, RO) anticipate activity characteristics of Categories 3 and 4, notably without reference to content. Productive Searching exercieses PF in a content-related form (→) and anticipates receptive finding without having the content as yet (e. g., by metaphors). Receptive finding exercises RO (→) and receives the sought-after content (←).
