Why Does Cognitive Science Distinguish Decoupling From Rationalization?

Cognitive science refers to decoupling and rationalization when intuitive cognition conflicts with reflective cognition.

Rationalization occurs when reflective cognition defends and rationalizes the intuitive cognition even though it may be entirely wrong.
