Conceptual models of intuition
Abstract
Introduction. Modern psychological research points to the insufficient theoretical certainty of the concept of intuition. The theoretical understanding of intuition is a statement of its phenomenological diversity with its insufficient conceptual certainty.
Purpose of the study: is to conduct a theoretical analysis and describe the main conceptual models of intuition.
Methods. Analysis of Russian and English psychological literature in order to determine the main conceptual models of intuition and their different cognitive capabilities. Structural-logical and analytical methods were used in the work.
Results and discussion. The analysis showed that there are a number of conceptual models of intuition. First, intuition can be considered as one of the phenomena of the human psyche. This model provides the opportunity to describe intuition on two levels: an object-level (in terms of general physiological and behavioral aspects) and a subject-level (in non-mentalist terms of information encoding and processing). However, due to the fact that this format is a “unit” of psychological knowledge about intuition, it carries certain conceptual limitations. Secondly, intuition can be considered in the format of a mental process, which, according to its general methodological capabilities, can represent it in the aspect of continuity of specific and successive stages. The hypothetical cognitive potential of the procedural model is the possibility of representing intuition in the form of a series of “blocks” that is classical for cognitive psychology. Thirdly, in the English-language literature there is a tendency to consider intuition in the format of an individual decision-making style to study the intuitive features of professional behavior.
Conclusion. The results of the study show the presence of different psychological models of intuition and their different cognitive capabilities, which is important to consider when developing method
