Prediction Involves Two Systems
from Part II - Psychological Theories
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 March 2025
The predictive mind makes use of two broadly distinct collections of cognitive systems, types of processing, or families of cognitive operations: an implicit (priming) system and an explicit and active ‘smart route’ to prediction. Though theorists differ greatly in what they mean by two systems and dual processing accounts, there is considerable agreement among most behavioral scientists about the general distinctions. System 1 is assumed to be unconscious, fast, implicit, automatic, and reflexive whereas System 2 is conscious, slow, explicit, controlled, and reflective.
