What Is Active Open Deniedness Doing?

Barron sees S2 as largely having, and there's deep truth to this, having a corrective function for S1. Active open mindedness is teaching you to protect this processing from being overridden by the way S1 makes you leap to conclusions. Leaping and coping are deeply interdependent but sometimes we need to override this leaping to conclusion. That's one of the ways in which I think Barron is a little bit more clear than Stanovich.
