It could be long-term memory too.
Thanks. This is because anyone can call their theory a dual process theory. And it's an even more general term in all of psychology, all LWers are secretly talking about the enormous subset of dual process theories of reasoning, which is why I made the title what it was. And about ten years ago they were in the 'listing common characteristics stage' instead of the 'finding neurological correlates' stage. Evans is one of the very authors who caused the confusion, but he also cleared it up later, and admitted his mistake. There are some especially virtuous scientists within the field of cognitive science.
