Daniel Kahneman has died

Yeah I wouldn't read too much into any single study. But what I would defend vigorously is System1 / System2 distinction as something so clear/fundamental that you can see it constantly once you understand it.

It’s also very common in psychology theories, I haven’t read “Thinking, fast and slow” but I imagine there’s more than Kahneman’s own papers cited: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory

wow, it looks like "dual process" theory is basically the same thing.

I don't know if there's a better text on dual-process theory out there (perhaps by the original authors), but regardless of who originated it, I think it's something worth learning about for everyone (and if you don't have a better source then Thinking Fast and Slow is a very good one).

That's not him though.

Like, it was in all my cog psych textbooks more than twenty years ago, with cites back in the 80s (which weren't him).

This is my favourite paper of theirs: http://stats.org.uk/statistical-inference/TverskyKahneman197...

I got into a bunch of trouble with some reviewers of my thesis for referencing this repeatedly.

It's just such a bad name though.

In software we often call it fastpath and slowpath :)

It's been called "emotion / intuition" and "logic" for centuries or millennia before the goofy System name was invented.

Ironically people like System 1/2 more than intuition/logic because the terms sound more like they are coined by System 2.

Maybe some people do. I have to keep checking which one is system 1 and which is system 2 every time I hear the terms, because they're not self-evident. Intuition/logic is.

At least, they sound that way to your System 1!

... except the distinction was being made in various forms long before Kahneman, and does get questioned. When you start to poke at it, what's intuitive starts to seem less so.

(that's a link to a defense of dual process theories, but it makes clear there's increasing criticism of them)

Does anyone have a link to a publicly accessible version of this paper?

I think this should work:

There's review paper coming from a more critical perspective in Psych Bulletin or Psych Review I was looking for, but I couldn't find it atm.
