The idea of intuition is explored in psychology through Dual Process Theory. See "Dual-process accounts of reasoning" below.

Kahneman and Tversky spent a good deal of time trying to identify the major heuristics employed (and biases caused) by the more "intuitive" of the two systems used for thinking.

(You may note that at the time this paper was published there was no concept of Dual Processes and the phrases "System 1/2" are never used.)
