According to study author Joel Pearson, intuition is the learned and positive use of unconscious information to make better decisions and actions.
This ability is based on the brain’s ability to constantly analyze the environment and make predictions based on previous experiences, both personally experienced and gleaned from movies and other sources.

Scientists have stated that intuition generally works in a good way. But it is important to be able to distinguish it from similar reactions that can also cause various premonitions – emotional thinking, paranoia, prejudice and the search for patterns where nothing exists.
Pearson noted that intuition works when we are emotionally calm and ready to analyze the relevance of cues in the brain. For example, you cannot trust your intuition when doing something for the first time. You also need to separate intuitive responses from reflexes, impulses, and habits. Finally, intuition works well in familiar and predictable environments, whereas in other situations it can send the wrong signals.
