Hoist by its own petard: The ironic and fatal flaws of dual-process theory

David E Melnikoff et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

By stipulating the existence of a system 1 and a system 2, dual-process theories raise questions about how these systems function. De Neys identifies several such questions for which no plausible answers have ever been offered. What makes the nature of systems 1 and 2 so difficult to ascertain? The answer is simple: The systems do not exist.
