Greenwald and Banaji's implicit social cognition theory suggests that individuals have implicit biases that reflect underlying attitudes and stereotypes that are activated automatically and unconsciously. These biases can impact behaviour and decision making, even when individuals are unaware of their influence. Critics argue that the theory may oversimplify the complexity of consciousness and that implicit biases may not always predict behaviour.
