About this event
Thank you for attending!
---------------------
In this meetup we will discuss how cognitive biases impact our work, and strategies we can use to become aware of – and counteract – the effects they have on our lives.
The list of biases is long and hard to digest, so UX in Lux created a deck of 52 UX cards, organized in 5 categories.
Cognitive biases are psychological processes and tendencies that cause the human brain to draw incorrect conclusions. They impact everyone, even those who know they exist. As designers, they impact our daily jobs: they impact user interviews, user research, meetings with colleagues, and most human interactions we have.

Cognitive biases are psychological thought mechanisms and tendencies that cause the human brain to draw incorrect conclusions. For better or worse, you can use them in many different ways to influence user behaviour in your products and services. These biases will also impact collaboration between team members and during meetings or might influencer your user research. Whether you are creating the user experience of an interfaces or purchasing something online, it’s interesting to be aware of these biases.
