RE: Does intuition matter in solving problems?

in #science7 years ago

I use my intuition every day, when choosing a parking spot that will save my car door from being dented by another driver. :D ... But seriously, I never considered intuition having anything to do either talent or education, or maybe even experience in a field of study...but I suppose it can be said that children generally aren't seen as having good intuition. Is it because they lack life experience? If so, the conclusion could be that people with good intuition aren't drawing upon some "magic power" but upon their Life Experience.

Sort:  

It is said that children generally aren't seen as having a good intuition, but there are tons of intelligent kids out there. If you see what they do, you'd be amazed about their intuition, whilst they still have a small Life Experience. And believe me, I've seen a lot of dumb and smart kids too, not being capable of doing anything without reading in their book what they were going to do, but I've seen enough adults like that also.

I also don't think it's "magic power", but it's not simply explained by "Life Experience" either. It's a complicated thing and I don't think we'll be able to solve it with simple reasoning. Real research is needed for this to be solved.
