Abstract:

The extent to which conscious and unconscious mental processes contribute to our experiences of learning and the subsequent knowledge has been subject to great debate. Dual process theories of implicit learning and recognition memory bear many resemblances, but there are also important differences. This thesis uses subjective measures of awareness to explore these themes using the artificial grammar learning (AGL) and remember/know (R/K) procedures. Firstly, the relationship between response times associated with intuition and familiarity based responding (conscious judgment of unconscious str

Abstract:

Recent research has suggested that young adults make the most optimal decisions when the problem is weighed at the unconscious level, or when they engage in little deliberation (Dijksterhuis, 2004). This is an intriguing finding with important implications for older adultsâ decision making given normative age-related declines in deliberative processing. In the current study, I investigated age differences in the benefits of unconscious relative to conscious thought. I also examined the extent to which these benefits interact with the processing demands of the decision task, and further if age-

Abstract:

Previous research has suggested that a period of unconscious thought can result in judgments that are equal or superior to those of conscious thought (Dijksterhuis, 2004). The existence of unconscious thought as a decision-making process is controversial. In fact, it has been suggested that unconscious thought is not a process rather the evidence supporting it is the result of a methodological artifact (Lassiter et al., in press) that only occurs when participants can retrieve online judgments. This thesis attempts to resolve this controversy. Participants received information describing 4 car

Abstract:

This research introduces a new theoretical perspective (termed the Adaptive Processing Perspective) that reexamines how consumers should think before making decisions and the optimal outcomes that result. New insights into conscious (“careful deliberation”), unconscious (“sleeping on it”), and intuitive (“going with your gut”) thought processes are provided. Across four studies, empirical evidence demonstrates that consumers can make significantly better decisions by thinking more about routine choices, using their intuition for occasional purchase decisions, and distracting themselves before

Abstract:

Our thoughts and behaviours can sometimes be influenced by stimuli that we are not consciously aware of having seen. For example, the presentation of a word that is blocked from entering conscious visual perception through masking can subsequently influence the cognitive processing of a further target word. However, the idea that unconscious cognition is sophisticated enough to process the semantic meaning of subliminal stimuli is controversial. This thesis attempts to explore the extent of subliminal priming. Empirical research centering on subjective methods of measuring conscious knowledge

Abstract:

This research into creativity arises from a studio practice centred in unconscious thought; in an immersive approach, I restricted myself to only allow concepts, materials and methods to be determined by hidden motives. Maintaining a broad, open mode of attention, not focused on an outcome, bypasses the usual constructions; in pre-reflective silence, high speed, multi-dimensional, unconscious thought is free to reinterpret objects according to their meaning-for-me. While open to all materials, this methodology led to working exclusively with discards and narrowed to plastic rubbish. The Use of

Devrions-nous nous fier à notre inconscient pour l’achat de notre maison ou de notre prochaine voiture ?Dijksterhuis, Bos, Nordgren et van Baaren, (2006), répondent par l’affirmative à cette question. En effet, d’après ces chercheurs, effectuer une tâche de distraction, comme résoudre des anagrammes pendant quelques minutes, permettrait de « penser inconsciemment » et d’améliorer la qualité des décisions complexes. Avant de prendre une décision complexe, il faudrait donc s'abstenir de réfléchir à l'ensemble des avantages et inconvénients que présenterait chaque option. Etant donné les implicat

Abstract:

This thesis identifies and explores a ‘return to Freud’ in the work of Jacques Derrida. Resemblances between Derrida’s method of deconstruction and the therapeutic procedure of psychoanalysis have long been a source of debate among critics. Is deconstruction little more than a psychoanalytic reading of the history of philosophy, or is Freud a Derridean avant la lettre? Revealing this dilemma to be a false one, this thesis challenges major interpreters of Derrida such as Jonathan Culler and Gayatari Chakravorty Spivak. By developing Derrida’s well-known yet little understood concept of différan

Jung tente d’y traduire les « inexprimables » régions de la psyché dont les cratères s’ouvrirent ainsi à lui, lieux d’exils et de découvertes, comme si s’était révélé, à travers eux, le plus incandescent langage de l’inconscient.

Abstract:

Terror Management Theory assumes self-esteem is an important psychological mechanism in unconscious avoidance of death-related anxiety. I posited that Terror Management Theory encapsulates existential motivations for self-forgiveness; that is, I suggested self-forgiveness might buffer self-esteem reductions secondary to guilt and shame. Indeed, accumulated research supports people strive for self-forgiveness to cope with the detrimental effects guilt and shame have on wellbeing through a dual-process of interpersonal (i.e., perceived forgiveness, conciliatory behaviors) and intrapsychic (i.e.,

It has been demonstrated that participants whose attention was distracted from complex problems made better choices, decisions and judgments than participants who focused their attention on the problem. Such findings demonstrate the benefit of unconscious thinking. However, this effect appears to be not stable. Several groups of researchers reported the failure of replicating this phenomenon.

This study investigated the link between creative thought and intuition. These concepts were defined in terms of two psychometric tests used to measure personality and interest. The two tests used were the 19 Field Interest Inventory (19FII) and the Jung Personality Questionnaire (JPQ). Intuition was measured on a continuum in terms of Jung’s conceptualisation of intuition- sensation. Creative thought was conceived as both a cognitive and an unconscious process. The research was quantitative in nature. A comparison was done between the scores obtained on the personality questionnaire (JPQ) and
