The person can use their senses to pay attention to finer levels of sensory information. The person links these finer pieces of information to their past long-term experiences. They can use this information to prevent secondary negative consequences in concrete situations.

The person's ability to use movement information is more refined. They will also stop to think about the secondary consequences spontaneously. This use of movement information helps prevent errors and negative secondary consequences in concrete situations.

The person can use up to three pieces of linear information at a time. This allows for a very different perspective on their world. The third dimension may be formed. Objects now have height, width and depth.

Classification is the grouping of information to allow the person achieve a goal or set purpose. Within ACL 5 High, the information spontaneously goes into long-term memory. Learning becomes very easy and the person can recall situations in the past or stories of when errors were made. This ability to recall long-term information allows the person to prevent errors and negative secondary consequences in concrete situations.

Within ACL 5 High, anticipating secondary effects is added. A secondary effect usually happens after and as a result of a primary effect. The secondary effect is coupled with the word anticipation because of the importance of forming an image of what might happen, before it happens. The importance of anticipation is that it is essential to understanding safety precautions. Perhaps the most serious and socially crippling aspect of a cognitive disability is their dependence on other people for their safety and the safety of the community.

Abstract information in the form of concrete warnings may be acknowledged when they are pointed out to them.

Within ACL 5 High, the use of abstract information is illogical by adults with a cognitive disability who have a history of abstract information for decades before the onset of a cognitive disability.

Learning and remembering is limited to tangible information within ACL 5 High. The person is apt to do one or more of the following:

The person's attention is spontaneously aroused by or may be prompted to anticipate unwanted effects on material objects and think about how to avoid them. The unwanted effects are likely secondary effects of the actions they intend to do. Anticipation forms an image of what might happen next.

The person is somewhat dependable in following safety precautions because they can anticipate concrete effects when the materials are present. Abstract effects cannot be anticipated and those safety precautions do not make sense to the person. Compliance by rote memory is not dependable.

The person's sense of space is formed by synthesizing sensorimotor information, physical actions, and elements of the physical environment that enter their visual field. Direction seems to emphasize linear information. To separate a sense of direction from a sense of space, direction includes the senses formed while walking or using public transportation.

Parking cars, making turns across on-coming traffic, moving furniture around corners, and carrying ladders up flights of stairs all require a sense of spatial fit and an anticipation of secondary effects, i.e. ACL 5.8.
