“Instinct and Intuition, as I define it, is this:

“¢ Instinct is our innate inclination toward a particular behavior (as opposed to a learned response).

“¢ A gut feeling—or a hunch—is a sensation that appears quickly in consciousness (noticeable enough to be acted on if one chooses to) without us being fully aware of the underlying reasons for its occurrence.

“¢ Intuition is a process that gives us the ability to know something directly without analytic reasoning, bridging the gap between the conscious and nonconscious parts of our mind, and also between instinct and reason.”

—Francis P Cholle, Psychology Today (2011)

 

Comedienne Ilana Glazer unpacks how intuition is used on stage and on screen with psychologist David Ludden.
