Mega LF, Gigerenzer G & Volz KG, 'Do intuitive and deliberate judgments rely on two distinct neural systems? A case study in face processing', Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015, 9, 456
McGilchrist cites Gigerenzer's collaborative neuroscientific work directly to support his argument that intuitive and deliberate cognition are neurally dissociable, undergirding the hemispheric asymmetry thesis.

Mega LF, Gigerenzer G & Volz KG, 'Do intuitive and deliberate judgments rely on two distinct neural systems? A case study in face processing', Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015, 9, 456
The citation of Gigerenzer's neural systems research anchors McGilchrist's claim that non-conscious intuitive judgment has a distinct and legitimate neural substrate.

90 Goldstein & Gigerenzer 2002.
McGilchrist references the Goldstein and Gigerenzer recognition heuristic as empirical evidence that simple cognitive shortcuts outperform exhaustive analysis in real-world decision tasks.

90 Goldstein & Gigerenzer 2002.
The recognition heuristic citation supports McGilchrist's broader contention that non-conscious, ecologically grounded cognition is epistemically potent rather than merely approximate.

Marewski, J.N., and G. Gigerenzer. 'Heuristic Decision Making in Medicine.' Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience (2012) 14:77-89.
LeDoux's citation of Gigerenzer's work on medical heuristics situates his framework within clinical neuroscience, extending its relevance beyond purely theoretical debates about rationality.

it is this kind of intuition, something that is grounded in praxis, not analysis, that is the decisive element in chess, just as it is in calligraphy, or playing the cello
This passage elaborates the theoretical context in which Gigerenzer's heuristics research is deployed, arguing that expert intuition operates below conscious deliberation.

McGilchrist develops the praxis-grounded intuition argument that Gigerenzer's empirical work is called upon to corroborate in adjacent footnotes.
