Summary: This article responds to critiques of dual-processing and dual system, asserting that there are two distinct types of processing evident in the literature.
Questions to consider:
- According to the authors, what are Type 1 and Type 2 processes?
- The authors organize criticisms of dual-process theories into five categories, provide a brief summary of each criticism.
- What do the authors mean when they say that there is a continuum of processing styles not two discrete types?
- Do you believe the authors’ arguments to be convincing? What evidence presented in the article influenced your belief?
Summary: This article further explains cognitive processing associated with the anchoring and adjustment heuristic by examing whether a precise, compared to a rounded, anchor affects judgments. Results reveal that a more precise anchor elicits a smaller overall adjustment than a rounded anchor.
Questions to consider:
- Describe the anchoring and adjustment heuristic and explain how numerical are made.
- Results from Experiment 1 reveal lack of support for two competing hypotheses. What are those hypotheses and how are they ruled out?
- How does the manipulation in Experiments 2 and 3 differ?
- Describe some of the real-world situations in which this research can be of use.
