What can I learn about
To begin with, we cover Cognitive Biases, Mental Models and Dark Patterns but we’ll add more subjects as we go through our journey.
Why did we pick these? Well, we started this project by learning about Cognitive Biases. While it’s all well and good to be aware of our biases, we believe that Mental Models give us an easy to follow framework to react to these biases. Dark Patterns is something we became interested more recently and, same as Cognitive Biases, we believe it is important to recognise them.
Cognitive Biases
Based on the Cognitive Bias Codex print from DesignHacks.
We researched the definitions of each bias and added a few must-read recommendations.
Dark Patterns
Based on 'Dark Patterns at Scale: Findings from a Crawl of 11K Shopping Websites'. An ever-growing list of patterns designed to make you buy stuff.
Mental Models
A curated list of over 300 mental models from various books and sources to help you make better decisions. Each comes with a recommended read.
