Ben Franklin Effect
A psychological phenomenon where a person who has done a favor for someone is more likely to do another favor for that person than if they had received a favor from them. Useful for building positive relationships and encouraging cooperative behavior in design and user interactions.
Representativeness
Representativeness is a heuristic in decision-making where individuals judge the probability of an event based on how much it resembles a typical case. Crucial for understanding biases in human judgment and improving decision-making processes.
Hindsight Bias
A cognitive bias where people perceive past events as having been more predictable than they actually were. Important for understanding and mitigating biases in user feedback and decision-making.
Customer Life Cycle
The stages a customer goes through from awareness to purchase and post-purchase activities. Important for designing strategies that optimize customer acquisition, retention, and satisfaction.
Feynman Technique
A learning method that involves teaching a concept to a novice to identify gaps in understanding and reinforce knowledge. Important for enhancing comprehension and retention of complex subjects.
Shared Information Bias
A cognitive bias where group members tend to discuss information that everyone already knows rather than sharing unique information, leading to less effective decision-making. Important for understanding group dynamics and improving the quality of collaborative decision-making among designers.
Sense of Ownership
A psychological state where individuals feel as though the success and well-being of a project or task is their personal responsibility, akin to having an "owner's mentality.". Essential for fostering accountability, motivation, and proactive engagement within a product design team.
Zero Price Effect
A phenomenon where people perceive an item as more valuable when it is free, leading to an increased likelihood of choosing the free item over a discounted one. Important for understanding consumer behavior and designing effective marketing strategies.
Berkson’s Paradox
A statistical phenomenon where two independent events appear to be correlated due to a selection bias. Important for accurately interpreting data and avoiding misleading conclusions.
Multiple Regression
A statistical technique that uses several explanatory variables to predict the outcome of a response variable, extending simple linear regression to include multiple input variables. Crucial for analyzing complex relationships in digital product data.
ASI
Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) is a hypothetical AI that surpasses human intelligence and capability in all areas. Important for understanding the potential future impacts and ethical considerations of AI development.
Pro-Innovation Bias
The tendency to overvalue new innovations and technologies while undervaluing existing or traditional approaches. Important for balanced decision-making and avoiding unnecessary risks in adopting new technologies.
Category Size Bias
A cognitive bias where people judge the likelihood of an event based on the size of its category rather than its actual probability. Crucial for designers to understand how category size influences user perception and decision-making processes.
Bye-Now Effect
The tendency for people to defer purchasing decisions to a later time, often leading to procrastination. Important for understanding consumer behavior and optimizing sales strategies.
Bucket Sort
A sorting algorithm that distributes elements into a number of buckets, sorts each bucket individually, and then combines the buckets to get the sorted list. Useful for understanding more advanced algorithmic techniques and their applications.
Bubble Sort
A simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. Important for understanding basic algorithmic principles and their applications.
Reward Power
The ability to influence others' behavior by offering positive incentives or rewards, commonly used in organizational and social contexts. Crucial for understanding dynamics of motivation and influence in team and organizational settings.
Turnover Rate
The rate at which employees leave a company and are replaced by new hires, often used as a measure of organizational health and stability. Essential for understanding workforce dynamics and designing strategies to improve employee retention.
Belief Perseverance
The tendency to cling to one's beliefs even in the face of contradictory evidence. Important for understanding resistance to change and designing interventions that address this bias.
Deductive Research
A research approach that starts with a theory or hypothesis and uses data to test it, often moving from general to specific. Essential for validating theories and making informed decisions based on data.
