The subtitle of this discussion board, Thinking Fast and Slow is the title of a book by Daniel Kahneman that reviews his work along with that of Amos Tversky of decision making in their study of behavioral economics. A hard copy of the book is available in the Gutman library. I would encourage you to read this, or other works that discusses the Fast (Type I) and Slow (Type II) processes of the human mind.
