Dual Process Model & Cognitive Biases Quiz

What are the two systems in the Dual Process Model of thinking?

• System 1 and System 2

• Logical and Emotional Thinking

• Rational and Intuitive Thinking

• Fast and Slow Processing

Which of the following best describes System 1 thinking?

• Slow, deliberate, and effortful

• Automatic, fast, and intuitive

• Always accurate and logical

• Only used in complex decision-making

What type of thinking does System 2 involve?

• Quick and emotional responses

• Careful, logical, and effortful reasoning

• Unconscious, automatic decision-making

• Impulsive and intuitive choices

Which study provides key evidence for the Dual Process Model?

• Wason Selection Task (1968)

• Loftus and Palmer (1974)

• Milgram (1963)

• Tversky and Kahneman (1974)

What does the Wason Selection Task demonstrate about human reasoning?

• People naturally use System 2 thinking

• People struggle with abstract logic and rely on heuristics

• System 1 is more effective for all decisions

• System 2 is rarely used in decision-making

Why do people often rely on System 1 thinking?

• It requires less cognitive effort and is faster

• It always leads to the best decisions

• It is based on logic and statistical reasoning

• It avoids all cognitive biases

Which situation is most likely to trigger System 2 thinking?

• Instantly recognizing a friend’s face in a crowd

• Driving a familiar route without much thought

• Carefully analyzing multiple investment options

• Quickly dodging an obstacle while running

What is a key limitation of the Dual Process Model?

• It assumes people only use one system at a time

• It has no scientific evidence supporting it

• It cannot explain decision-making in real life

• It suggests System 2 thinking is completely error-free

Which of the following best explains the relationship between System 1 and System 2?

• System 1 and System 2 always operate separately

• System 2 can override System 1 when needed

• System 1 is used in all decision-making, System 2 is irrelevant

• Both systems process information at the same speed

According to Kahneman’s research, what determines whether we use System 1 or System 2 thinking?

• The level of expertise we have in a topic

• The amount of cognitive load and time pressure

• Whether the decision involves emotions

• If the information comes from a trusted source
