System One thinking can be modified to better accommodate new experiences by being open to new patterns of thought. Instead of trying to fit a new experience into existing thought patterns, one should create new types of thought to fit the experience. This can be achieved by learning and understanding the dynamics of the new experience, and adapting one's thinking accordingly. For instance, a doctor who has only worked independently can learn about the dynamics of group work to better fit into a team atmosphere.

One of the problems with System One thinking is that this approach to decision-making means trying to make a new experience fit the existing patterns of thought. When a new experience presents itself, new types of thought should be created to fit the experience, not the other way around. For example, a doctor who has only worked independently will typically approach working in a team atmosphere by referencing past experiences and thoughts. By responding to this new experience without learning about the dynamics of groups, the chances of that doctor "fitting in" will be slim.
