Overview

The study of intuition and its relation to thoughtful reasoning is a burgeoning research topic in psychology and beyond. While the area has the potential to radically transform our conception of the mind and decision making, the procedures used for establishing empirical conclusions have often been vaguely formulated and obscure. This book fills a gap in the field by providing a range of methods for exploring intuition experimentally and thereby enhancing the collection of new data. The book begins by summarizing current challenges in the study of intuition and gives a new foundation for intuition research. Going beyond classical dual-process models, a new scheme is introduced to classify the different types of processes usually collected under the label of intuition. These new classifications range from learning approaches to complex cue integration models. The book then goes on to describe the wide variety of behavioural methods available to investigate these processes, including information search tracing, think aloud protocols, maximum likelihood methods, eye-tracking, and physiological and non-physiological measures of affective responses. It also discusses paradigms to investigate implicit associations and causal intuitions, video-based approaches to expert research, methods to induce specific decision modes as well as questionnaires to assess individual preferences for intuition or deliberation. By uniquely providing the basis for exploring intuition by introducing the different methods and their applications in a step-by-step manner, this text is an invaluable reference for individual research projects. It is also very useful as a course book for advanced decision making courses, and could inspire experimental explorations of intuition in psychology, behavioural economics, empirical legal studies and clinical decision making.

Reviews

In such a new area of study, to have a compendium such as this is immensely useful. It is an extremely valuable book which should do a lot of good for a lot of people. I shall certainly get hold of a copy, and will recommend it strongly to my colleagues. - Ken Manktelow, University of Wolverhampton Glockner and Witteman provide compelling arguments for understanding the role played by intuitive judgements in complex human decision processes. The contributors unpack intuition and offer invaluable insights from the cutting edge of intuition research, which set the agenda for future scientific inquiry and practical application. - Eugene Sadler-Smith, School of Management, University of Surrey This well-organized collection of chapters by researchers at the frontiers of intuition research goes a long way in showing how to do research in this challenging area. It will be essential reading for specialists but will also be of considerable interest to those with more general interests in psychology. In short, the book contains much valuable material that is presented in a highly accessible manner. Congratulations! - Robin M. Hogarth, ICREA Research Professor, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
