Although there is a good deal of evidence for some level of dissociation
between multiple
systems that approximate controlled and automatic processing respectively, with parts of the
brain such as areas of frontal cortex (controlled) and limbic regions (automatic) implicated in these processes, it seems highly unlikely that there are dedicated, independent, sub-
systems at the neural level that are specific to these modes of processing.
