Adaptive unconscious (original) (raw)
The adaptive unconscious, first coined by social psychologist Daniel Wegner in 2002, is described as a set of mental processes that is able to affect judgement and decision-making, but is out of reach of the conscious mind. It is thought to be adaptive as it helps to keep the organism alive. Architecturally, the adaptive unconscious is said to be unreachable because it is buried in an unknown part of the brain. This type of thinking evolved earlier than the conscious mind, enabling the mind to transform information and think in ways that enhance an organism's survival.

| dbo:abstract | The adaptive unconscious, first coined by social psychologist Daniel Wegner in 2002, is described as a set of mental processes that is able to affect judgement and decision-making, but is out of reach of the conscious mind. It is thought to be adaptive as it helps to keep the organism alive. Architecturally, the adaptive unconscious is said to be unreachable because it is buried in an unknown part of the brain. This type of thinking evolved earlier than the conscious mind, enabling the mind to transform information and think in ways that enhance an organism's survival. It can be described as a quick sizing up of the world which interprets information and decides how to act very quickly and outside the conscious view. The adaptive unconscious is active in everyday activities such as learning new material, detecting patterns, and filtering information. It is also characterized by being unconscious, unintentional, uncontrollable, and efficient without requiring cognitive tools. Lacking the need for cognitive tools does not make the adaptive unconscious any less useful than the conscious mind as the adaptive unconscious allows for processes like memory formation, , language, learning, and some emotional and personalities processes that includes judgement, decision making, impression formation, evaluations, and goal pursuing. Despite being useful, the series of processes of the adaptive unconscious will not always result in accurate or correct decisions by the organism. The adaptive unconscious is affected by things like emotional reaction, estimations, and experience and is thus inclined to stereotyping and schema which can lead to inaccuracy in decision making. The adaptive conscious does however help decision making to eliminate cognitive biases such as prejudice because of its lack of cognitive tools. (en) O inconsciente adaptativo, termo cunhado pelo psicólogo social em 2002, é descrito como um conjunto de processos mentais capazes de afetar o julgamento e a tomada de decisões, mas que está fora do alcance da mente consciente. Pensa-se que seja adaptativo, pois ajuda a manter o organismo vivo. Arquitetonicamente, diz-se que o inconsciente adaptativo é inacessível porque está enterrado em uma parte desconhecida do cérebro. Esse tipo de pensamento evoluiu mais cedo que a mente consciente, permitindo que ela transformasse informações e pensasse de maneiras que melhorassem a sobrevivência de um organismo. Pode ser descrito como uma rápida avaliação do mundo que interpreta as informações e decide como agir muito rapidamente e fora da visão consciente. O inconsciente adaptativo é ativo em atividades cotidianas, como aprender novo material, detectar padrões e filtrar informações. Também se caracteriza por ser inconsciente, não intencional, incontrolável e eficiente, sem a necessidade de ferramentas cognitivas. A falta de ferramentas cognitivas não torna o inconsciente adaptativo menos útil do que a mente consciente, pois o inconsciente adaptativo permite processos como formação da memória, , linguagem, aprendizado e alguns processos emocionais e de personalidades que incluem julgamento, tomada de decisão, , avaliações e busca de metas. Apesar de útil, a série de processos do inconsciente adaptativo nem sempre resulta em decisões precisas ou corretas por parte do organismo. O inconsciente adaptativo é afetado por coisas como reação emocional, estimativas e experiência e é, portanto, inclinado a estereótipos e esquemas que podem levar a imprecisões na tomada de decisões. O consciente adaptativo, no entanto, ajuda na tomada de decisões para eliminar vieses cognitivos, como o preconceito, devido à sua falta de ferramentas cognitivas. (pt) |
