In summary, the findings point to a potential problem of conscious thought as a strategy to reduce racial bias. We found
evidence that conscious thought increases the likelihood of biased memory representations of Black and White people,
which in turn increases the likelihood of racially biased evaluative judgments of these people. Applying a period of unconscious
thought to race-related decisions appears effective to overcome this problem, as the results suggested that this led to
less biased memory representations than immediate decisions or conscious thought. Importantly, unconscious thought did
not jeopardize the objective quality of decisions, in fact, it tended to improve objective decision quality compared to a period
of conscious thought. Further research may investigate the robustness and boundary conditions of the observed effects.
