In his classic book on computational vision, Marr (1982) proposed three levels of theories
about cognitive systems. At the highest level, theories aim to understand the abstract goals a …

Many phenomena in judgment and decision making are often attributed to the interaction of
2 systems of reasoning. Although these so-called dual process theories can explain many …
