I have already asked about this, but it seems appropriate to re-ask it here. Chapter 22 seems like it has the information I’m looking for. Can anyone summarize what evidence it gives for the two systems model? The reason I’m asking is that I have doubts about the model but could have easily missed something.
Added: After read a large portion of it, I’m updating in favor of my original conclusion. The paper describes many other things besides the two-systems model, but when it mentions the model it mostly describes how to fit various results into this framework, not why the framework is valid. They talk about how slow, deliberative thinking is different from fast, intuitive thinking, but they don’t address what I consider to be the main contentious issue: weather these are natural categories. I conclude that talk of “System 1” and “System 2″ in Less Wrong is more shibboleth than insight.

For a summary, try Kahneman’s 2003 paper, A perspective on judgment and choice: Mapping bounded rationality.
Thanks. I’ll try to read that.

The book Thinking, Fast and Slow is about the model...
