Dual process theory effectively explains and predicts cognitive biases as the result of fast, intuitive System 1 reasoning.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently applies dual process theory to explain the mechanics of heuristics and cognitive biases across various domains like decision-making, emergency medicine, and fraud victimization. The evidence strongly supports the claim that cognitive biases can be understood and predicted through this theoretical framework.
