I wrote a literature review about this [1] in 2015 I think. I mostly look at support from fMRI studies in Shogi players (Japanese chess). While it was a school assignment, I took it very seriously as I knew the review itself would have very serious implications on my personal life.
Summary:
Main question: how can one develop an effective intuition?
The development of an effective intuition relies on: a high validity environment, a high amount of practice and a high interoceptive awareness. The first two elements account for intuitive answers being right. The third element accounts for the gut feeling being felt by the person. As a result the brain changes, and integrates certain brain areas more into the default mode network. The idea that if one has high activation in a brain area a lot, then the structure will be changed.
High validity environment: rules are easily understandable and deterministic (think chess), or you have a lot of practice moments (think poker). Understanding psychological patients would be an example of a low validity environment.
