The effect of the cognitive demands of the distraction task on unconscious thought (original) (raw)

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2014

Abstract

The unconscious-thought effect occurs when distraction improves complex decision making. Recent studies suggest that this effect is more likely to occur with low- than high-demanding distraction tasks. We discuss implications of these findings for Newell & Shanks' (N&S's) claim that evidence is lacking for the intervention of unconscious processes in complex decision making.
