Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Systems 1 and 2, as described by Daniel Kahneman in his book "Thinking, Fast and Slow," represent two modes of thought: System 1 is fast, instinctual, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. These systems are not physically separate entities within the brain but rather conceptual frameworks used to understand different processes of thinking and decision-making. The statement in option B correctly reflects this understanding, emphasizing that these systems are metaphors for describing complex cognitive processes rather than distinct anatomical structures.
