cognitive science of design in 10 minutes or less
DESCRIPTION
We as Designers underestimate the power of automatic brain processes and don’t take full advantage of them. By understanding the interactions between automatic and conscious processes, we can provide better experiences and more strongly influence decisions and behavior. Learn about how we perceive, how we make choices and persuasive design - all in 10 minutes or less!TRANSCRIPT

We as Designers underestimate the power of System 1 and don’t take full advantage of it.

Within milliseconds our mind is: - deciding where to look - identifying object boundaries, images - associating them with meaning

We largely know what captures attention

We can’t hold on to everything…

Our conscious brain is only working with what our automatic system has perceived, not the real thing.

Thus we get overwhelmed with choice,
![Page 10: Cognitive science of design in 10 minutes or less](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c630814a7959ba298b4582/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
we prefer the known,

strongly avoid loss,
![Page 12: Cognitive science of design in 10 minutes or less](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54c630814a7959ba298b4582/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
and fall back to easy rewards.

So how can we use what is known about brains to be better designers and more persuasive?

show the ideal
provide social proof
make choice simpler
draw attention
emphasize likelihood of reward

Bottom line: System 1
harness automaticprocesses
- draw attention - minimize distraction - relate to what I know & ideal - associate with basic goal

Bottom line: System 2
- reduce fear of loss - provide social proof - keep choice simple
makedecisions
easy

New mantra for designers:
