by Claudia González-vallejo, G. Daniel Lassiter, Francis S. Bellezza, Matthew J. Lindberg - Review of General Psychology , 2008
"... Based on Unconscious Thought Theory (UTT) and a series of experimental and correlational studies, Dijksterhuis and his colleagues conclude that when making complex choices/decisions, conscious thought—deliberation while attention is directed at the problem—leads to poorer choices/decisions than “unc ..."

Unconscious vs. Conscious Thought in Causal Decision Making

by Stefan Mangold, York Hagmayer
"... Recently, Unconscious Thought Theory (UTT, Dijksterhuis & Nordgren, 2006) claimed that unconscious processing of information yields better decisions. Related studies showed that deliberate reasoning resulted in worse choices than unconscious reasoning. Causal reasoning is often considered to be ..."

PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE Research Article The Merits of Unconscious Thought in Creativity

by Chen-bo Zhong, Ap Dijksterhuis, Adam D. Galinsky
"... ABSTRACT—Research has yielded weak empirical support for the idea that creative solutions may be discovered through unconscious thought, despite anecdotes to this effect. To understand this gap, we examined the effect of unconscious thought on two outcomes of a remoteassociation test (RAT): implicit ..."
