Dual-process theories are controversial because they are vaguely defined and don’t always align with the supposed distinctions. We proposed a category theory (adjoint functors) approach to dual-process aspects of cognition. A series of experiments were conducted to elicit dual-processing routes within a given task. Our main theoretical result was to show that an associative/relational (rule-based) form of dual-process is related by a category (sheaf) theory construction, called sheaving, which is an adjoint functor. This result provides a new way of modeling cognitive representations and processes.
