Dual-processing accounts of reasoning, judgment, and social cognition.

This article reviews a diverse set of proposals for dual processing in higher cognition within largely disconnected literatures in cognitive and social psychology and suggests that while some dual-process theories are concerned with parallel competing processes involving explicit and implicit knowledge systems, others are concerns with the influence of preconscious processes that contextualize and shape deliberative reasoning and decision-making.

It is argued that the dual-processing distinction is supported by much recent evidence in cognitive science.

The Embodied Embedded Character of System 1 Processing

It is argued that it is essential for System 1 processing to be comprehended in an Embodied Embedded approach to Cognition to avoid paradoxes in empirical results of studies mainly on reasoning.

Fractionating the System of Deductive Reasoning

In this chapter I suggest that the best way to advance our understanding of the neural basis of reasoning is to put equal emphasis on cognitive theory and neuropsychological data and ideas. This

Dual Processing in Reasoning

Human reasoning has been characterized as an interplay between an automatic belief-based system and a demanding logic-based reasoning system. The present study tested a fundamental claim about the

Stanovich et al. (Adv. Child Dev. Behav. 36, 251–285, 2008) outlined how people can reach a correct solution when a task besides the normative solution elicits competing response options that are

Reasoning with complementary pathways , not competing processes

The core of our argument is that the human mental architecture is composed of nine subsystems of equal status that interact as parts of a coherent overall system, and therefore one mind. Two of these

Dissociation of Mechanisms Underlying Syllogistic Reasoning

It is concluded that syllogistic reasoning is implemented in two distinct systems whose engagement is primarily a function of the presence or absence of semantic content.

Distinctions have been proposed between systems of reasoning for centuries. This article distills properties shared by many of these distinctions and characterizes the resulting systems in light of

Abstract What happens in the human brain when the mind has to inhibit a perceptual process in order to activate a logical reasoning process? Here, we use functional imaging to show the networks of
