Intuition and deliberation: two systems for strategizing in the brain.

22 Apr 2009 Dual-process theories distinguish between intuition (fast and emotional) and reasoning (slow and controlled) as a basis for human decision-making. We contrast dominance-solvable games, which can be solved by step-by-step deliberative reasoning, with ... Read more...

The perceived diversity heuristic: the case of pseudodiversity.

27 Feb 2009 One of the normative ways to decrease the risk of a pool with uncertainty prospects is to diversify its resources. Thus, decision makers are advised not to put all their eggs in one basket. The authors suggest that decision makers use a perceived ... Read more...

Origins of mathematical intuitions: the case of arithmetic.

27 Feb 2009 Mathematicians frequently evoke their "intuition" when they are able to quickly and automatically solve a problem, with little introspection into their insight. Cognitive neuroscience research shows that mathematical intuition is a valid concept ... Read more...
