The expert eye
The studies of lie detection provide the strongest evidence for the significance of gut feelings.
When asked to go with their intuitions rather than thinking it through and articulating their reasons, people tend to be more accurate at determining whether a person is honest and whether they are lying about a particular event.In other circumstances, the extent of our experiences will determine how strong our intuitions are.
Without our conscious recall of the specific memories that drive those emotions, the unconscious brain searches through its stored knowledge to find the best solution to our problems.
