Preferred term

adaptive unconscious  

Definition(s)

  • Definition Automatic processes are processes that are unconscious, unintentional, uncontrollable, and efficient (i.e., they do not require cognitive resources). The term adaptive unconscious refers to the fact that these automatic processes evolved because they are beneficial to people who rely on them. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Adaptive Unconscious]
