Abstract

The popular definitions of intuition converge on four aspects: nonconscious information processing, holistic associations, affectively charged, and speed (Dane E, Pratt MG. Conceptualizing and measuring intuition: a review of recent trends. In: International review of industrial and organizational psychology, vol. 24; 2009. p. 1-40). With this and similar definitions, it is not surprising that the term intuition conceptually overlaps with other related cognitive constructs such as creativity (Finke RA, Ward TB, Smith SM. Creative cognition: theory, research, and applications. 1992), tacit knowledge (Reber AS. Implicit learning and tacit knowledge: an essay on the cognitive unconscious (Oxford Psychology Series, No 19). Oxford: Oxford University Press; 1993), implicit learning and knowledge (Dienes Z, Berry D, Psychon Bull Rev, 4(1):68-72, 1997; Reber AS, J Exp Psychol Gen, 118(3):219, 1989), instinct, and insight (Mayer RE. The search for insight: Grappling with Gestalt psychology's unanswered questions. 1995; Nisbett RE, Ross L. Human inference: strategies and shortcomings of social judgment. p. 1980). The present chapter discusses neural correlates of intuition in the different contexts. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
