Abstract
The Iowa Gambling Task assesses real-life decision-making. The developers of the task proposed the Somatic Marker Hypothesis to explain the preconscious, emotional bias that precedes conscious learning on the task. This process could relate to the construct of intuition. Our results suggest affective (emotional) intuition inhibit task performance.
