🧠 Quick Study Guide

  • ⏱️ System 1 (Intuitive): Fast, automatic, unconscious, emotional, and uses heuristics.
  • 🎯 System 2 (Analytical): Slow, effortful, conscious, logical, and requires attention.
  • ⚖️ Interaction: Both systems work together; System 1 provides quick judgments, and System 2 monitors and corrects when needed.
  • ⚠️ Biases: System 1 is prone to cognitive biases (e.g., confirmation bias, availability heuristic).
  • 💡 Applications: Understanding dual processing helps in decision-making, problem-solving, and avoiding common errors in judgment.
