Intuition can enhance decision-making accuracy

Intuition can help people make decisions quickly, accurately and more confidently, according to a study by researchers from the University of New South Wales (Australia), published in the journal Science. Psychological Science in the past May.

Researchers define intuition occurs when, "unconscious emotions . bias the corresponding non-sensory behavior". In the process of making practical decisions, an unconscious feeling or intuition will lead us.

When making decisions, an unconscious feeling or intuition will lead us.

To create an unconscious emotional stimulus, the researchers flashed subconscious images . A colored square has appeared for a short time alongside small dots. Sometimes it's just a colored square. Occasionally, an image has blinked so fast inside it that it cannot be clearly perceived. This image aims to evoke a positive or negative emotion (Take, for example, a baby or a snake).

When viewed with positive images, they performed better in non-emotional decisions. Not only do they feel better about their decisions, but the decisions they make are also more accurate.

Unconscious emotional information can increase the level of accuracy and confidence in the respective non-emotional decision-making task.

This study said: "Although most people agree that there is a phenomenon called intuition , including unconscious, quick, and emotional processes, but there is not much convincing evidence. In this technique, subconscious emotional information is given to the subjects in the process of making their sensory decisions completely conscious.

Our behavioral and psychophysical data . show that unconscious emotional information can increase the level of accuracy and confidence in the respective non-emotional decision-making task, at the same time. also accelerates response time ".
