System 2
Functions automatically and are out of our awareness often called intuition or a gut feeling
Intuitive, automatic, unconscious, and fast way of thinking
System I
Requires our conscious, attention and effort
Deliberate, controlled, conscious, and slower way of thinking
System II
Is the awakening or activating of a certain association
Priming
The mutual influence of the bodily sensations on cognitive preferences and social judgements
Embodied Cognition
Advocates of “intuitive management” believe we should tune into hunches to used system 1
Intuitive judgements
Implicit, thinking that is effortless habitual and without awareness roughly corresponds to intuition also known as system 1
Automatic Processing
Explicit , thinking that is deliberate, reflective, and conscious also known as system 2
Controlled processing
The tendency to be more confident that correct to overestimate the accuracy of one’s beliefs
Overconfidence Phenomenon
A tendency to search for informations that confirms one’s preconception
Confirmation Bias
3 techniques to have successfully reduced the overconfidence bias
- prompt feedback
- when people think about why an idea might be true, it begins to seem true
- to get people to think of one good reason why their judgements might be wrong
3 heuristics mental shortcuts
- heuristics
- representative heuristic
- availability heuristic
A thinking strategy that enables quick, effecient judgements
Heuristics
The tendency to presume, sometimes despite contrary odds, that someone or something belongs to a particular group if (resembling) a typical member
Representativeness Heuristic
A judgement rule that judges the likehood of things in terms of their availability in memory
Availability heuristic
Imagining alternative scenarios and outcomes that might happen but didnt
Counterfactual thinking
Another influence on everyday thinking is our search for order in random events, a tendency that can lead us down from all sorts of wrong path
Illusory thinking
Perception of relationship where non exists, or perception of a stronger relationship that actually exist
Illusory Correlation
The statistical agency for extreme scores or behaviors to return towards one average
Regression toward the Average
Mood infuse judgements, good and bad moods trigger memories of experiences associated with those moods
Moods and judgements
Often reconstruct memories of past events base on our current beliefs and feelings not necessarily base on what happen
Constracting memories of ourselves
To understand how we explained other peoples behavior
Attribution theory
Sub of attribution theory
- dispositional attribution
