π£ About the talk
(Talk will be held in English)
Design for Cognitive Bias:
Using Mental Shortcuts for Good Instead of Evil
Users' minds take shortcuts to get through the day. Usually theyβre harmless. Even helpful. But what happens when theyβre not? In this talk Iβll use real-world examples to identify some particularly harmful biases that frequently lead users to make bad decisions. I'll then talk about some content strategy and design choices we can use in our apps, designs, and platforms to redirect or eliminate the impact of those biases. Finally, I'll explore our own biases as designers and some methods to prevent our own blind spots from hurting users.
