The gambling experiment with the red and blue decks is
described in Antoine Bechara, Hanna Damasio, Daniel Tranel,
and Antonio R. Damasio, “Deciding Advantageously Before
Knowing the Advantageous Strategy,” Science 275 (February
1997): 1293–1295. This experiment is actually a wonderful way
into a variety of fascinating topics. For more, see Antonio
Damasio’s Descartes’ Error (New York: HarperCollins, 1994),
212.
The ideas behind “fast and frugal” can be found in Gerd
Gigerenzer, Peter M. Todd, and the ABC Research Group, Simple
Heuristics That Make Us Smart (New York: Oxford University
Press, 1999).
The person who has thought extensively about the adaptive
unconscious and has written the most accessible account of the
“computer” inside our mind is the psychologist Timothy Wilson.
I am greatly indebted to his wonderful book Strangers to
Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconscious (Cambridge,
Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2002). Wilson also discusses,
at some length, the Iowa gambling experiment.
