Science - Psychology / Behavioral psychology
Russian term or phrase: радификационный
Found in a book on the sociology of psychology and of thinking, in a sentence detailing the criticism of a method of analyzing mental acts and reactions in humans:

"Недостатки такого метода, кромсающего живого человека на простейшие элементы и видящего в человеке только «мешок раздражений и ощущений», вместе с недостатком реквизита идей этой радификационной схемы для объяснения живой, цельной, богатой психики человека..."

I get the sense from the sentences immediately preceding this one that the author does not consider breaking an action down into discrete mental or psychological elements is an adequate approach, so the word may have something to do with the process or result of that breakdown.

Explanation:
(Suggestion)
A typo for "ramified", meaning a branched diagram with multiple divisions and subdivisions?

"радификационный" does not seem to exist - there are only 2 Google results for it: your post on ProZ and the original Russian text.

OK. Could the original printed version not also contain a typo?

Notes to answerer
Asker: You bring up a good point - the OCR on the PDF I originally received is a tad hiccupy - but I consulted the printed version I ordered out of Russia and the word is as shown in the query.

Explanation:
That's a kind of word play, in the context.

There is a word: радиОфикация
https://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/bse/125808/Радиофикация
https://muse.jhu.edu/article/666021/pdf

There is a word:РаTификация
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ратификация

Well, the author has mixed them both and got this word, which doesn't exist, to speak ironically and sarcastically about that idea: to divide a human being into elements, ets so on and so forth

So, I'am afraid, it's necessary to invent a word and put it in quotes, something like "radification"
