The five senses offer us five different ways of shutting out reality. What is intuition and what does it perceive? In 1995, a new study entitled “Intuition: The Role of Perception in Deciding Whether Events Occur in the Present or the Past” was released. The study provided evidence that people were more likely to draw conclusions from their intuitions when they were in the present, but not in the past. When making judgments, people were also more likely to make decisions based on their intuitions when they were in the present, but not in the future.
