- Conditions for intuitive expertise: A failure to disagree Kahneman & Klein (2009). American Psychologist, 64(6), 515-526 A skeptic of intuition (heuristics-and-biases) and a champion of it (naturalistic decision making) agree that intuitive judgments can be trusted only when the environment is regular enough to be learnable and the person has had lots of practice with rapid, clear feedback.
- A new look at habits and the habit-goal interface Wood & Neal (2007). Psychological Review, 114(4), 843-863 Habits are learned links between context cues and responses that form through repetition and can then be triggered directly by those cues without the goal that originally drove them. Goals shape habits mainly by motivating the early repetition and by steering people toward cues, rather than by directly activating the habit.
- Deciding Advantageously Before Knowing the Advantageous Strategy Bechara et al. (1997). Science, 275(5304), 1293-1295 Healthy participants began choosing advantageously and showed anticipatory skin-conductance responses to risky options before they could explain which strategy was best. Patients with prefrontal damage never developed these signals and kept choosing badly even after knowing the right strategy.
