Thinking Is for Action (Purposeful), So We Make Meaning from Chaos -- We Create Internal Mental Representations of External Reality -- Self-Report Is Unreliable Because Cognition Is Often Automatic -- We Can Know What People Think Even When They Don't Know -- First Impressions Are "Sticky" and Difficult to Update -- First Impressions Can Be Implicit, Making Them Even More Persistent -- We Follow Rules When Asking "Why?," Acting Like Intuitive Scientists -- Biases Are Common and Arise from Normal Cognitive Processes -- Biases Are Common and Are Often Motivational in Nature -- Beyond the Information Given: Responding Guided by Priming -- Prejudice and Stereotyping -- Cognitive Processing Is Flexible, and Processing Types Dissociable -- The Updating of Impressions Is Promoted by Diagnostic Stimuli and One's Goals.
