Question

According to cognitive neuroscientists, perception, memory, thinking, language, and attitudes all operate on two levels—a conscious, deliberate "high road" and an unconscious, automatic "low road." The high road is _____, the low road is _____, the combination of which is called "dual processing"

Answer 1

The "high road" is explicit and the "low road" is implicit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dual Processing Theory centers on the fact that thinking can happen in 2 ways, that there are 2 ways of processing thought.

Let's break both terms down:

• Implicit refers to something which is suggested but is not necessarily portrayed as automatically understandable. In other words, the unconscious.
• Explicit refers to something which is clearly stated and of which we know the meaning and understand it; the conscious.

Thus, the conscious level, the "high road" is explicit and the unconscious level, the "low road" is implicit.
