Dual-processing also known as the two-track mind allows the brain to be able to process information on separate conscious and unconscious tracks. Thinking, memory, perception, language and attitudes all operate on two tracks. Often times nature makes one react in an away that is beyond one’s control. So what facilitates this process? Vision plays a great role in dual-processing. There are two tracks: visual perception and visual action. The visual perception track allows one to think about the world by recognizing things and to plan future actions. The visual action track guides those future actions within the moment. Ultimately, this means that the majority of everyday thinking, feeling, sensing and acting operates outside of one’s awareness.
