Unpacking Intuition: A Conjecture

Perspect Psychol Sci. 2009 Jul;4(4):399-402. doi: 10.1111/j.1745-6924.2009.01145.x.

Abstract

Can intuition be taught? The way in which faces are recognized, the structure of natural classes, and the architecture of intuition may all be instances of the same process. The conjecture that intuition is a species of recognition memory implies that human intuitive decision making can be enormously enhanced by virtual simulation.
