1. The Milton model is a way of communicating based on the hypnotic language patterns of Milton Erickson. It has been described as "a way of using language to induce and maintain trance in order to contact the hidden resources of our personality".

2. The Milton model has three primary aspects: First, to assist in building and maintaining rapport with the client. Second, to overload and distract the conscious mind so that unconscious communication can be cultivated. Third, to allow for interpretation in the words offered to the client. Communicating with metaphor was also an essential part of Milton's methods.

3. NLP teaches that the way one's sensory representation systems are organized (their visual, auditory, and kinesthetic representations) forms the conscious representation of experience. When people are thinking they form internal images and sounds, together with internal feelings. For example, if they are thinking of what their home looks like they are using the visual sensory mode.

4. VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic), derived from the accelerated learning world, seems to be the most popular model nowadays. Its main strength is that it is quite simple, which appeals to a lot of people. Its main weakness is that the research does not really support it.

Originally N euro-linguistic programming (NLP) taught that most people had an internal preferred representational system (PRS) and preferred to process information primarily in one sensory modality. The practitioner could ascertain this from external cues such as the direction of eye movements, posture, breathing, voice tone and the use of sensory-based predicates. If a person repeatedly used predicates such as "I can see a bright future for myself, the words "see" and "bright" would be considered visual predicates. In contrast "I can feel that we will be comfortable" would be considered primarily kinesthetic because of the predicates "feel" and "comfortable". These verbal cues could also be coupled with posture changes, skin color or breathing shifts. The theory was that the practitioner by matching and working within the preferred representational system could achieve better communication with the client and hence swifter and more effective results. Many trainings and standard works still teach PRS whilst other proponents such as Richard Bandler, have de-emphasized the existence and relevance of PRS and instead emphasize working within all representational systems. In particular, New Code emphasizes individual calibration and sensory acuity, precluding such a rigidly specified model as the one described above. Responding directly to sensory experience requires an immediacy which respects the importance of context. Grinder has stated that a representational system diagnosis lasts about 30 seconds.

Although there is some research that supports the notion that eye movements can indicate visual and auditory (but not kinesthetic) components of thought in that moment, the existence of a preferred representational system ascertainable from external cues was discounted by research in the 1980s.
