Kahneman described system 1 as “The Associative Machine” due to its nature (2011). Firstly, look at the following words:
Banana Vomit
A lot instantly happened to our mind after reading these words. You experienced some obnoxious memories and images, increase in heart rate, activation of your sweat glands. To put it another way, you automatically responded to the unpleasant word in the same way as you are in an actual event.
What happened here is that your mind automatically presumed a causal connection between the two words banana and vomit, creating an illusion in which the banana caused you to vomit. As a consequence, you underwent a state of momentary aversion to bananas. Furthermore, your system 1 recognised the unusual juxtaposition of …show more content…

There is two stages of priming involved. First, the given words prime thoughts of elderly, which in turn prime an elderly-related behaviour, walking slowly. These priming effects occur without our awareness. Notably, when questioned afterwards, the students did not recognise that their behaviour changed after being exposed to the words, and they even claimed that what they did could not have been influenced by those words. This priming phenomenon is now known as ideomotor effect, the occurrence of a behaviour primed by the idea.
Furthermore, ideomotor effect also works in reverse. A replicate study of the previous Florida effect experiment was conducted in a German university. Students were asked to perform the slow walk first. Then they became much quicker to recognise words associated with old ages.
In conclusion, ideomotor effect works reciprocally. An activated thought prime a behaviour, and in reverse that behaviour would prime the related thought. This is an crucial discovery, since it could prove that one’s behaviour and thought or emotion are linked together. For instance, people have an augmented emotional response to unpleasant pictures such as crime victims, heated argument and so
