| Research Abstract |
The author considered human intuition in association with mental images and proposed a functional model of human intuition where it was defined as a set of procedural functions specialized for facilitating cognition of significant matters in perception of external stimuli, for example, instinctive detection of dangerously keen objects. There was proposed a multilayered model of human cognition of the external world. The model consists of three main processing components, namely, (1) Perception, (2) Intuition and (3) Reason. At the first layer, Perception produces vague and unarticulated images (i.e., perceptive images) from external stimuli. At the second layer, Intuition translates perceptive images into articulated ones (i.e., intuitive images) with direct knowledge but any mediate knowledge yielded by reasoning. Finally, Reason with Knowledge calibrates intuitive images into rational images, so called, by inference employing various kinds of knowledge.
