Generalized Functional Processes added to ICF in Library

The coding for the following Generalized Functional Processes were added to the Functional Process Typing & Coding section of the International Classification of Functional Processes, Agency, and Context (ICF) in the Library.

f06.00 SENSATION [process]: The Sensation Process involves the activity of sensation (feeling or perceiving a stimulus; something sensed; meaning, reason, value; way a referent is presented) in a situation and is subject to the subprocesses related to the diverse activity of sensory processing (including f06.00 subcodes f06.01 through f06.25).

f07.00 POLARZATION [process]: The Polarization Process involves the ability to polarize (dual processing types; a polarized experience or perception that opposes the opposite hemisphere; separation, alignment, or orientation of opposing perceptual attributes; separation of positive or negative valences) in a situation and is subject to the subprocesses related to the diverse activity of polarizational processing (including f07.00 subcodes f07.01 through f07.25).

f08.00 REIFICATION [process]: The Reification Process involves the ability to reify (to make a single coherent entity; make a thing, form, object; thingify, objectify) in a situation and is subject to the subprocesses related to the diverse activity of reificational processing (including f08.00 subcodes f08.01 through f08.25).

f09.00 PERCEPTION [process]: The Perception Process involves the ability to perceive (take hold of stimulus; become aware; gain conscious understanding; organize, identify, and interpret sensory information) in a situation and is subject to the subprocesses related to the diverse activity of perceptual processing (including f09.00 subcodes f09.01 through f09.25).

f10.00 SENTIENCE [process]: The Sentience Process involves feeling (actively sensing or perceiving) in a situation and is subject to the subprocesses related to the diverse activity of sentient processing (including f10.00 subcodes f10.01 through f10.25).
