Executive functions in insight versus non-insight problem solving: An individual differences approach (2009, background): “Type 1 processes are fast, automatic and unconscious while Type 2 processes are seen as slow, effortful and conscious (Samuels, 2009).”
Dual-Process Theories of Higher Cognition (2013, unknown): “…that have been posited by evolutionary psychologists; processes of implicit learning; and the automatic firing of overlearned associations (see H. C. Barrett & Kurzban, 2006; Carruthers, 2006; Evans, 2008; Kahneman & Klein, 2009; Samuels, 2005, 2009; Shiffrin & Schneider, 1977; Sperber, 1994).”
On the distinction between rationality and intelligence: Implications for understanding individual differences in reasoning. (2012, background): “For similar reasons, Evans (2008, 2009, Chapter 8; see also Samuels, 2009) has suggested a terminology of Type 1 processing versus Type 2 processing.”
Dual Process Th eories (2013, background): “Th is impact went even beyond the traditional boundaries of psychology, in that philosophers have started to use it as a basis for speculations about the general architecture of the human mind (e.g., Carruthers, 2009; Samuels, 2009).”
The complexity of developmental predictions from dual process models (2011, background): “Evans (2008, 2009; see also Samuels, 2009) has suggested a terminology of Type 1 processing versus Type 2 processing.”
Reflections on reflection: the nature and function of type 2 processes in dual-process theories of reasoning (2019, background): “The philosopher Samuels (2009) suggested some time ago that we should talk of Type 1 and 2 systems but the idea has received relatively little attention in the psychological literature.”
Intuition and Reasoning: A Dual-Process Perspective (2010, methodology): “In developing this idea, I am indebted to the philosopher Samuels (2009), who suggested that it would make more sense to talk of Type 1 and 2 systems rather than Systems 1 and 2.”
Why your stigma isn't hired : a dual-process framework of interview bias (2016, background): “The two processes have received different labels including intuition/reason, reflexive/ reactive, System 1/System 2, and Type 1/Type 2 processes (Evans, 2008; Samuels, 2009; Stanovich, 1999).”
