A Call for Unification of Dual- and Single-Process Accounts in Cognitive Models of Intuition

Abstract

We examine how both single-process and dual-process accounts can inform models of intuition. To do so, we review theoretical differences between ACT-R and CLARION and propose a model unifying single-process and dual-process accounts within the ACT-R cognitive architecture. In this model, the function of cognitive decoupling is introduced and its role in the emergence of slow intuition is explained
