Intuitive vs Logical Thinking

Psychologists accept there are "...two different systems operating when it comes to thinking and reasoning. One is believed to be evolutionary more ancient in terms of human development; it has been called intuitive, natural, automatic, heuristic and implicit...The second system is one that is believed to be more recent in human evolution...called conceptual-logical, analytical-rational, deliberative-effortful-intentional-systematic and explicit...". - Bruce Hood, Supersense, Constable UK 2009, with particular reference to the article "In Two Minds: Dual Process Accounts of Reasoning" by JSBT Evans, Trends in Cognitive Science No.7 (2003)
