Dual-process theories brought in the terms System 1 and System 2.

They convey a bland dual-

system hypothesis which is of oversimplified and deceiving. Further, type 1 and type 2 forms appear
to differentiate quick, programmed, or unconscious processes hich indeed are slow, effortful, and
conscious.

Type 2 processes require access to a single, capacity-limited central working memory resource,
whereas Type 1 processes do not require such access. And Type 2 processes are slow, sequential,
and capacity limited, whose functioning correlates with individual differences in cognitive capacity
and be disrupted by concurrent working memory load. Also, Type 2 processes register in
consciousness and have properties associated with executive processes and intentional, higher-
order control, but they are not uniquely human or associated with decontextualized thought or rule-
based reasoning.

On the other hand, Type 1 processes refer to processes that can work automatically without
possessing working memory space. We may have innate cognitive modules with encapsulated
processes for perception, attention, language processing etc. We have an associative learning system
that implicitly acquires knowledge of the world in a form similar to weights in neural networks that
can directly affect our behaviour. We have habitual and automated behaviour patterns that once
required conscious type 2 effort but converted to type 1 with practice and experience. Also we have
powerful pragmatic processes that rapidly recognize and retrieve explicit knowledge for conscious
processing. Type 2 needs type 1 processes support to supply a continuous relevant content into
working memory.

Parallel-competitive forms of dual-process theory is of two forms of learning, which indeed lead to
two forms of knowledge, implicit and explicit, which actually control behaviour. So, dual-process
theories have capable empirical support in a number of psychology fields. They are not related to
same underlying 2 systems of cognition. It is possible that one system works completely with type 1
processes, while the other has a mixture of type 1 and type 2 processes.
