"She (Hayes) also argues that the human consciousness aims at constant coherence, therefore even the trivial and everyday situations are screened to fit the customary expectations. This is worth conscidering when researching users intuition. Sometimes the requirement of this coherence leads to a situation, where consciousness edits and modifies reality to fit personal expectations, on a cost of reality, by misinterpreting anomalous or strange situations.
These arguments have been very useful to me with my intuition research over the past seven years. Although my focus has been on the application and development of intuition in the creative process, i.e. how designers can better tap and benefit their intuition, it overlaps with some of the issues you are handling.
At the moment, when handling the faculties of unconscious (including the processes or nonconscious as a wider phenomenon), the concepts, vocabulary and models presented are incomplete, they vary depending on the domain and are even contradicting. This has led to a situation where there does not exist any shared taxonomy over the area. The more I have oriented myself to the topic of intutive faculties of human mind, the more multidimensional it has become. In nonconscious (or unconscious) there are many aspects we are not able to understand at the moment, like pre-reflective processes, pre-sentiments or how we can intuitively know something that "we possibly should not know". All this happens in the unconscious faculties, which -- most likely -- are not limited to human brain or even to skin."
I agree with Hayes and would add that any intentional thought, not just everyday situations, are first interpreted to meet customary expectations. I believes this occurs unconsciously and is then elaborated by preconscious intentional thought before an intuition about what to do emerges into conscious awareness.
This conception of intuition requires only a taxonomy of process because it applies to any purposeful thought and occurs within Intentional thought regarding a particular subject or situation.
These ideas are explained in more detail in the paper "Intuition, imagination and Insight in A Theory of Design Thinking”
available on academia.edu. Some people have had difficulty accessing the paper. It can be reached by googling the title.
Is your work available? If so I would like to obtain a copy.
Thanks,
