4 important questions on Dual-processing models - Heuristic processing
Which one of the processes has low MAO (motivation, ability and opportunity)?

--> means that it is based on the notes in memory that are activated as a function of incoming information. There is no evaluation of truth. Things that come into mind make up the truth.

- “the text is difficult, so the writer must be smart”
- “it’s a Swiss watch, so it must be of high quality”
- This is the route of intuition & gut feeling!

- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What are the consequences of heuristically processing?
- habitual & impulsive behavior --> habits too. If you do things a lot it does not require to think about it too much.
