  1. SEMINAIRE DE MAÎTRISE ORIENTATIONS PSYCHOLOGIE COGNITIVE ET PSYCHOLOGIE DU DEVELOPPEMENT LUNDI 19 NOVEMBRE 2012 16H15 – 17H45 / SALLE PM11 « When We Feel We’re Biased: Conflict Detection During Thinking » Wim De Neys CNRS & Université Paris Descartes «Human thinking is often biased by erroneous intuitions and stereotypical beliefs. We all know how negative stereotypes about minority groups can distort an employer’s hiring policy, for example. However, the exact nature of this bias is poorly understood. A key question for any theory of reasoning, decision-making, and social cognition is whether or not people detect that their intuitive inferences conflict with more normative considerations. In my talk I’ll present an overview of recent neuroscientific studies that indicate that reasoners are actually pretty good at detecting the presence of such conflicts. Findings suggest that although people have little conscious conflict awareness, they do seem to have an implicit “gut feeling” informing them that their stereotypical responses are not fully warranted. Additional developmental data indicates that preadolescents lack such implicit conflict feelings. I’ll discuss some intriguing implications for the debate on human rationality.»
