What strategies do you use to help slow down fast thinkers?

Hi Teachers! I'm working on a new story, and I could use your help! 😁

At any given moment, our brains encounter an immense amount of stimuli to which we react intuitively—like deciding in an instant if someone’s tone denotes anger or confusion, or quickly understanding simple sentences as we read. These moments of fast thinking are near-automatic thought processes that require very little effort. 🧠⚡

This type of instinctive, reactive thinking is essential for survival, but an overreliance on fast thinking can also lead to errors, overlooked or missed details, overconfidence in their incomplete understanding of something new, and bias, contends Nobel Prize–winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman in his seminal 2011 book, Thinking, Fast and Slow.

What strategies do you use to help slow down fast thinkers? For example, pit stops during the writing process or having students sketch while reading poems to better parse important details.
