Sample Book Insights:
#1 When it comes to our childrenâs health, we parents often have a sense of maternal intuition. It is a feeling of something being wrong, and it is most likely a cumulation of experience with our own children that leads us to this conclusion.
#2 Our gut instinct is a result of our visual matching game, which is a result of our cognitive processing system. It allows us to expedite the process of making decisions, but it can lead to errors that have far-reaching consequences.
#3 When we use our gut instinct, we are allowing our brain to make quick judgments and we are valuing speed over accuracy. This gut feeling, where we use emotions to make snap decisions, is called System 1 in dual process theory.
#4 The idea of bounded rationality states that when we are faced with a time constraint on making a decision, we will resort to cognitive shortcuts. These shortcuts may lead to the deployment of implicit biases.
