Intuition: Why should we be cautious of it?

from The Why Factor · host BBC World Service

In the second and final part exploring intuition Nastaran Tavakoli-Far speaks to cricket players who used data to win championships and hears about business leaders who trumpet their successes and forget the times their intuition led to failure. She talks to psychologists and Nobel Prize winners about why we get so attached to our intuitions and forget the times it was wrong, and why we should probably use a mix of both intuition and rational analysis when making decisions.Alex Wakely – former Northamptonshire County Cricket CaptainDavid Ripley – Northamptonshire County Cricket CoachThomas Gilovich – Professor of Psychology, Cornell UniversityDaniel Kahneman – Winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, Psychology Professor at Princeton University, author of ‘Thinking Fast and Slow’ Eric Bonabeau – Chief Scientific Officer, Telepathy LabsProf Gary Klein – Cognitive Psychologist and President of Shadowbox LLCRight Honourable Lord David Willetts – Resolution Foundation and former UK Minster for Universities and Science Presenter and producer: Nastaran Tavakoli-Far Editor: Richard Knight(Photo: Toddler looking at a birthday cake on a table.
