System 1

psychology public
Concept introduced by Daniel Kahneman in his book Thinking, Fast and Slow.
Kahneman models our cognitive behaviors with two systems that work in parallel of each others, System 1 and System 2.
System 1 is fast and automatic, while System 2 is slow and intentional.
System 1 excels at simple intuitive tasks and require very low effort. System 2 requires high effort and is used for more complex tasks that System 1 cannot solve on its own.

I am more aware of my [[System 1]]‘s shortcomings, although, as Dr.Kahneman often confesses, I probably can’t help it much

Our brain, with sufficient practice, can associate certain cues with particular outcomes (in particular the desirable ones) without us knowing; thank you [[System 1]]

Our brain is a combination of Homer Simpson ([[System 1]]) and Mr.Spoke ([[System 2]]), although Homer is usually much louder and often steals the show
