We recently joined other researchers [1–5] in challenging the popular assumption that ‘consciousness’, ‘efficiency’, ‘intentionality’, and ‘controllability’ are correlated such that they form two clusters − those typically called ‘Type 1’ and ‘Type 2’, which we refer to collectively as the dual-process typology. More specifically, we argued that (i) these processing features have never been shown to correlate with one another, (ii) there are good reasons to assume that the features are, in fact, completely uncorrelated, and (iii) the features are incoherent, therefore (iv) the dual-process typology should be abandoned [6].
