The implicit assumption of these studies, and all interpretations of flow, is that self reports can adequately describe the content of flow. Therefore, no analysis is necessary or valuable regarding the linguistic content of such self-reports. Furthermore, there was implicitly no need to investigate how non conscious information may also parallel flow experiences, and how such information may be mediated by neurological (attentive alertness), somatic (relaxation), and perceptual (demand/skill match) representations that dynamically change in time.
