The Bifunctional Model of Knowledge, Understanding, Self-Regulation and Brain-Mind Cycle of Reflection

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently non-notable theory: no hits on Google or Google Scholar for either bifunctional model of knowledge or biofunctional model of knowledge (note that it isn't spelled the same in the title as in the content). —Largo Plazo (talk) 10:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC) PAGE''' ]] ) 17:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: No mention of this "model" in any sources not written by the non-notable author of the non-notable journal article. --Ahecht ( [[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK

 * Delete as rambling psycho-babble, well below the quality standard that is expected in Wikipedia. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:06, 24 April 2014 (UTC).
 * Comment - It's pretty clear from the citations that it should be "biofunctional". The title is cobbled together from titles of various articles by Iran-Nejad. To the extent it is mentioned by other authors, the theory seems to be referred to as "biofunctional learning". RockMagnetist (talk) 00:19, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Even "biofunctional learning" gets almost no hits in either Google or Google Scholar that are even possibly independent of Iran-Nejad and his colleagues. —Largo Plazo (talk) 00:48, 24 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment - I can't access any of the sources, but I strongly suspect that a lot of the content is copied from them, so there may even be grounds for speedy deletion. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:29, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment Google Scholar shows 79 citations of "Iran-Nejad,A. & Ortony,A.(1984). A biofunctional model of distributed mental content, mental structure, awareness, and attention.
