I seem to recall a study that studied intuition in emergency situations such as fire fighters and ER doctors. What they determined was that the more experienced the person, the more likely the intuition was to be correct meaning that it probably wasn't intuition at all but the person's brain working on available data faster than the person was consciously aware of.
I generally refer to "[the] brain working on available data faster than the person was consciously aware of" as "intuition". For the purposes of this sequence, are we excluding that and only using "intuition" to refer to information and subconscious thought processes derived from one's evolutionary rather than individual history?
Perhaps this one?
