Document Summary

Research suggests that when you experience cognitive fatigue, you"re more likely to use decision making heuristics: you are more likely to use ^ these heuristics unwisely and fall prey to decision making biases. Aka dual systems account, but author uses term dual process. We have this too: we move our hand away from hot stove without even thinking about it. Subcortical structures (amygdala and limbic system) regulate emotional responses to stimuli. This is how we can react to hunger, how we experience anxiety in state of uncertainty, detect state of potential threat. This system isn"t a single system but cluster of cognitive and behavioural subsystems and processes that operate independently and with some autonomy. Associative learning system is responsible for operant and classical conditioning is also part of this system. Only final output of these processes is available to consciousness.
