How to use conceptual in a sentence?

1. Karl Buhler, 1930:

   By the time the child can draw more that scribble, by the age of four or five years, an already well-formed body of conceptual knowledge formulated in language dominates his memory and controls his graphic work. Drawings are graphic accounts of essentially verbal processes. As an essentially verbal education gains control, the child abandons his graphic efforts and relies almost entirely on words. Language has first spoilt drawing and then swallowed it up completely.

2. Lori Meyers:

   The whole idea of flexible math lanes/grouping is that teachers can provide much better differentiated learning for their students when they have a more narrow range of students to teach, even within a lane, teachers must differentiate. No class is entirely uniform. With laning, teachers have a more narrow range of student proficiency to address, allowing them to go into much more conceptual depth.

3. Michael Poland:

   So we have already made a conceptual leap, leading us to believe it was different from what we had understood.

4. Deepak Chopra:

   Then, when you're done with that, bring your awareness into your body and wherever there seems to be any discomfort, just bring the awareness there without manipulating it, awareness by itself heals. Awareness without conceptual intervention restores self-regulation.

5. William James:

   True ideas lead us into useful verbal and conceptual quarters as well as directly up to useful sensible termini. They lead to consistency, stability and flowing human intercourse.
