Dual Process Theories

Dual Process Theories

Dual process theories are a class of theories that are used to explain many cognitive processes, including judgement and decision-making.[1] Dual process theories assume that humans possess two types of cognitive processing: Type 1 and Type 2 (Also known as System 1 and System 2, respectively).[1] Type 1 relies automatic processing, does not require working memory, and is typically the faster of the two processing types. Type 2 relies on controlled processing, requiring controlled attention and working memory.[2] The automatic/controlled distinction between Type 1 and Type 2 is only one of many common distinctions. Some others include: unconscious/conscious, associative/rule-based, and intuitive/deliberate.[1] Besides the automatic/controlled distinction, criticism exists for common distinctions between Type 1 and Type 2 processes, arising from inconsistent findings or disagreements among researchers.[1] For instance, the unconscious/conscious is commonly criticized for its lack of conceptual clarity, making it vague and an unreliable identifier of Type 1 and Type 2 processing.[1]
