'System 1 and 2 Modes of Thinking' in Hodges' model

 System 1 - 

"operates automatically and quickly,
with little or no effort and no sense of voluntary control. 

 System 2 - 

allocates attention to the effortful mental activities that demand it, including complex computations. The operations of System 2 are often associated with the subjective experience of agency, choice, and concentration." pp. 20-21.

"When we think of ourselves, we identify with System 2, the conscious, reasoning self that has beliefs, makes choices, and decides what to think about and what to do. Although System 2 believes itself to be where the action is, the automatic System 1 is the hero of the book. I describe System 1 as effortlessly originating impressions and feelings that are the main sources of the explicit beliefs and deliberate choices of System 2. The automatic operations of System 1 generate surprisingly complex patterns of ideas, but only the slower System 2 can construct thoughts in an orderly series of steps. I also describe circumstances in which System 2 takes over, overruling the freewheeling impulses and associations of System 1. You will be invited to think of the two systems as agents with their individual abilities, limitations and functions." p.21.

GROUP

System 2: Brace for the starter gun in a race. Focus attention on the clowns in the circus. Focus on the voice of a particular person in a crowded and noisy room. Look for a woman with white hair. Search memory to identify a surprising sound. Maintain a faster walking speed than is natural for you. Monitor the appropriateness of your behavior in a social situation. Count the occurrences of the letter a in a page of text. Tell someone your phone number. Park in a narrow space (for most people except garage attendants). Compare two washing machines for overall value. Fill out a tax form. Check the validity of a complex logical argument. p.22.

System 1: Detect that one object is more distant than another. Orientate to the source of a sudden sound. Complete the phrase "bread and . . .". Make a "disgust face" when shown a horrible picture. Detect hostility in a voice. Answer to 2 + 2 = ? Read words on large billboards. Drive a car on an empty road. Find a strong move in chess (if you are a chess master). Understand simple sentences. Recognize that a "meek and tidy soul with a passion for detail" resembles an occupational stereotype. p.21.

ICT and Brexit Change Survey – Extended deadline

Date:    Fri, 10 Mar 2023 09:16:49 +0000

From:    e.lomas AT UCL.AC.UK

Subject: ICT and Brexit change survey – extended deadline

Apologies for cross posting

We have been asked to extend this survey (https://opinio.ucl.ac.uk/s?s=80453) for a further month in line with the time previous surveys ran. It will therefore close on Tuesday 11th April straight after Easter. This is because a lot of people are part way through and in addition a number of people had not seen the save button which appears at the bottom of each survey page. We would further note that the survey is intended to be neither remain or leave in its questioning – both sides have queried this. We are keen to understand perspectives of the ICT/information sectors following Brexit. We appreciate everyone’s time and perspectives on this. Below is the original text when posted with an update on timeframes…

Brexit has been a significant change for the UK and EU, including in the contexts of  the ICT sector and those who manage information, whether in the public or private sectors. At the three-year departure point we are seeking the views of information professionals on the shifting opportunities and threats for the ICT/information sector in the light of Brexit. Whilst Brexit was a UK decision, it has had potentially global ramifications and therefore we are looking to draw in perspectives from across the globe. We understand that there will be differing views both negative and positive – we want to hear all these perspectives.

We would be so grateful if you would respond to this survey at  - it will take 10-20 minutes to complete depending on if you just check the multiple-choice boxes or if you wish to share further written comments. All questions are optional. The survey is anonymous and no IP addresses are being collected. We know that you are busy and appreciate your time. The survey will close on 11th April 2023.

Please do forward on this email so that we can reach as many people as possible and tweet:

Please complete survey on information/ICT professionals’ views on Brexit and  change https://opinio.ucl.ac.uk/s?s=80453 #Brexit #ICT

The results of this survey will be published in an open access form. Please note this survey follows four earlier surveys charting change through the Brexit process, the first immediately after the Referendum (written up at: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0186452), one at a mid-point which was accompanied by workshops (written up at: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0227089) and the others from the transition points onwards. Whether or not you have completed any earlier surveys, we would appreciate your input now. This is likely to be the last survey we publish tracing the changes.

The research is a partnership between the iSchools at UCL (Dr Elizabeth Lomas) and Northumbria University (Emerita Professor Julie McLeod). The survey is being facilitated by Dr Elizabeth Lomas (mailto:e.lomas AT ucl.ac.uk).

Thank you for your help.
