Abstract
Four studies measured the relationship between analytical thinking and intuition. The first three studies show support that an analytical mindset can worsen an intuition- based performance. Participants in an analytical mindset were less able to classify correct grammar strings at a level significantly higher than chance. The fourth study gave evidence that cognitive fluency doesn’t account for these results by testing the mechanisms that were being influenced by the analytical mindset. Results support the theory that neither affect nor cognitive fluency is the mechanism worsening intuition. It does support the idea that the analytical mindset may be causing a loss in confidence that leads to worse intuitive performance.
