Mistakes occur if we allow System 1 to process a cognitive decision while we should have really passed this decision over to our slow logical System 2.
(4/5)
System 1, the fast and automatic system.
This system is our cognitive auto-pilot, it works intuitive, unconscious and draws on prior experience. It is responsible for everyday decisions.
(2/5)
System 2, the slow and analytic system.
This system is controlled and effortful, it works deliberate, conscious and reliable. It is responsible for complex decisions.
