# Dual-Process Theory

## Overview

雙歷程理論(Kahneman,2011;Stanovich & West,2000)區分兩種認知處理模式:System 1(快速、自動、由捷思驅動)和 System 2(緩慢、審慎、基於規則)。大多數判斷預設走 System 1,它很有效率,但捷思失靈時容易產生系統性偏誤。

## When to Use

- 解釋為什麼利害關係人在時間壓力或複雜情境下,會出現可預測的判斷錯誤
- 設計能補償 System 1 預設值的決策環境(推力、檢查清單)
- 稽核現有流程,找出捷思捷徑在哪裡帶來風險
- 評估直覺專業什麼時候可靠、什麼時候會誤導

## When NOT to Use

- 決策本來就有結構化的演算法程序(偏誤已被工程化排除)
- 拿來當藉口,全盤否定直覺判斷:在高效度的環境中,專家直覺可以很準
- 問題出在動機,不是認知(人知道正確答案,卻選了別的)

## Assumptions

```
IRON LAW: System 1 operates by DEFAULT — System 2 engagement
requires cognitive effort and is easily depleted. Under time
pressure, cognitive load, or ego depletion, System 1 dominates
and heuristic biases amplify.
```

關鍵假設:
1. System 1 和 System 2 是處理模式的隱喻,不是腦中真正分離的系統
2. 捷思通常是適應性的,偏誤出現在邊界條件
3. System 2 可以推翻 System 1,但前提是有被提示,而且有足夠的認知資源

## Methodology

### Step 1 — Identify the Judgment or Decision Context

描述決策的特徵:時間壓力、複雜度、熟悉度、賭注大小、情緒投入程度。

### Step 2 — Classify Processing Mode

| Feature | System 1 | System 2 |
|---------|----------|----------|
| Speed | 快、自動 | 慢、費力 |
| Awareness | 無意識 | 有意識 |
| Capacity | 高(平行) | 低(序列) |
| Basis | 捷思、聯想 | 規則、邏輯 |
| Error type | 系統性偏誤 | 計算錯誤 |
| Triggered by | 預設、熟悉感 | 新奇、偵測到衝突 |

### Step 3 — Map Relevant Heuristics and Biases

常見的 System 1 捷思與其失靈模式:
- **Availability**:用回想的容易程度判斷頻率,會被顯著性和近期性帶偏
- **Representativeness**:用相似度判斷機率,忽略基本比率
- **Anchoring**:從初始值開始調整來估計,調整不足
- **Affect**:用情緒反應判斷風險與利益,忽略統計證據

### Step 4 — Design Intervention

- **De-bias**:放慢決策、要求明確說明理由、做 pre-mortem
- **Nudge**:重組選擇架構,讓 System 1 的預設值和期望結果一致
- **Leverage**:在高效度、回饋快速的領域,善用 System 1 的優勢(模式辨識)

## Gotchas

- System 1/System 2 是有用的隱喻,不是字面上的大腦架構,避免把這個區分實體化
- 在回饋明確、模式規律的領域(例如西洋棋、消防),專家直覺(System 1)非常準
- 去偏誤訓練的遷移效果很差,改變環境比訓練個人更有效
- 認知耗竭效應有爭議,不要假設有簡單的「意志力電池」模型
- System 2 本質上不是比較「好」,它比較慢、成本比較高,而且一樣會受動機性推理影響
- 人常把信心和準確度搞混,System 1 的高信心不代表正確

# Dual-Process Theory

## Overview

Dual-process theory (Kahneman, 2011; Stanovich & West, 2000) distinguishes two modes of cognitive processing: System 1 (fast, automatic, heuristic-driven) and System 2 (slow, deliberate, rule-based). Most judgments default to System 1, which is efficient but prone to systematic biases when heuristics misfire.

## When to Use

- Explaining why stakeholders make predictable judgment errors under time pressure or complexity
- Designing decision environments (nudges, checklists) that compensate for System 1 defaults
- Auditing existing processes to identify where heuristic shortcuts introduce risk
- Evaluating when intuitive expertise is reliable vs. when it is misleading

## When NOT to Use

- When decisions are already well-structured with algorithmic procedures (bias is engineered out)
- As an excuse to dismiss all intuitive judgment — expert intuition can be accurate in high-validity environments
- When the problem is motivational rather than cognitive (people know the right answer but choose otherwise)

## Assumptions

```
IRON LAW: System 1 operates by DEFAULT — System 2 engagement
requires cognitive effort and is easily depleted. Under time
pressure, cognitive load, or ego depletion, System 1 dominates
and heuristic biases amplify.
```

Key assumptions:
1. System 1 and System 2 are metaphors for processing modes, not discrete brain systems
2. Heuristics are generally adaptive — biases emerge at the boundary conditions
3. System 2 can override System 1, but only when cued and when cognitive resources are available

## Methodology

### Step 1 — Identify the Judgment or Decision Context

Characterize the decision: time pressure, complexity, familiarity, stakes, emotional involvement.

### Step 2 — Classify Processing Mode

| Feature | System 1 | System 2 |
|---------|----------|----------|
| Speed | Fast, automatic | Slow, effortful |
| Awareness | Unconscious | Conscious |
| Capacity | High (parallel) | Low (serial) |
| Basis | Heuristics, associations | Rules, logic |
| Error type | Systematic biases | Computational mistakes |
| Triggered by | Default, familiarity | Novelty, conflict detection |

### Step 3 — Map Relevant Heuristics and Biases

Common System 1 heuristics and their failure modes:
- **Availability**: judge frequency by ease of recall — biased by salience and recency
- **Representativeness**: judge probability by similarity — ignores base rates
- **Anchoring**: estimate by adjusting from initial value — insufficient adjustment
- **Affect**: judge risk/benefit by emotional reaction — neglects statistical evidence

### Step 4 — Design Intervention

- **De-bias**: slow down decisions, require explicit justification, use pre-mortems
- **Nudge**: restructure choice architecture to align System 1 defaults with desired outcomes
- **Leverage**: use System 1 strengths (pattern recognition) in high-validity, rapid-feedback domains

## Gotchas

- System 1/System 2 is a useful metaphor, not a literal brain architecture — avoid reifying the distinction
- Expert intuition (System 1) is highly accurate in domains with clear feedback and regular patterns (e.g., chess, firefighting)
- De-biasing training has poor transfer — changing the environment is more effective than training individuals
- Cognitive depletion effects are debated; do not assume a simple "willpower battery" model
- System 2 is not inherently "better" — it is slower, more costly, and still subject to motivated reasoning
- People often confuse confidence with accuracy; high System 1 confidence does not indicate correctness
