Do intuitive and deliberate judgments rely on two distinct neural systems? A case study in face processing

摘要: Arguably the most influential models of human decision-making today are based on assumption that two separable systems – intuition and deliberation underlie judgments people make. Our recent work is among first to present neural evidence contrary predictions these dual-systems accounts. We measured brain activations using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while participants were specifically instructed either intuitively or deliberately judge authenticity emotional facial expressions. Results from three different analyses revealed both common networks activation across decision mode differential as a function strategy adherence. take our results contradict popular accounts propose clear-cut dichotomy processing systems, support rather unified model. According this, intuitive deliberate judgment processes rely same rules, though only former thought be characterized by non-conscious processing.
