Cognitive Biases - Ready to Use Digital Workshop (Miro and Figjam)

Explore biases that affect product and service design in a fun way!

Whether you are creating the user experience of an interfaces or purchasing something online, it’s important to be aware of different cognitive biases that will impact people's behavior. Did I use an anchoring bias in this product pricing? Maybe...

This is the digital Miro and Figjam workshop version of the UX Cognitive Bias Cards & Workshop by Stéphanie Walter. It's a ready to use online workshop boards (with "how to" guides) to save time when you want to grow your team / student's awareness towards cognitive biases that can affect product and service design.

We (Laurence Vagner and Stéphanie Walter) carefully selected 60 out of the complete list of biases and organized them into 5 categories: User Research, Decision-Making & Behavior, Teamwork & Project Management, Memory, Recalling & Perception, Thinking & Problem-Solving. Each card comes with an easy-to-understand description of the bias in that category.
