Theoretical Contradictions in the Defining the Phenomenon of Intuition
The article describes theoretical inconsistencies in defining the psychological mechanisms of intuition. The research points out the approach that regards intuition as a complex functioning, and the other cognitive process considering intuition as the means to obtain «direct knowledge», which is beyond the rationally explicable availability of information. The authors outline the difficultiesprofessionals of different areas face in the course of studying intuitional phenomena (psychologists, psychophysiologists).
