IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU LIKE IT

Yes it doesn’t matter. Some of my most effective and successful designs from an analytics/statistics standpoint are not ones that I particularly like. That is because I am not the user, and I think and interpret visuals differently than psychology scholars (or any other given user base)

Overcoming Bias

by rwatuny
Over the last several decades, new research has changed science's picture of how we succeed or fail to seek the truth. The heuristics and biases program, in cognitive psychology, has exposed dozens of major flaws in human reasoning. Microeconomics, through the power of statistics, has shown that many facets of society don't work the way we thought. Overcoming Bias aims to bring the implications home. We want to avoid, or at least minimize, the startling systematic mistakes that science is discovering. If we know the common patterns of error or self-deception, maybe we can work around them ourselves, or build social structures for smarter groups. We know we aren't perfect, and can't be perfect, but trying is better than not trying.

by karlcow

Declarative vs Procedural

by karlcow

R: Scripting is said to be more expensive for developers. Is there quantitative evidence? H: This is not a computer science issue. It is in the field of usability and psychology. The declarative way may be more difficult for programmers, since programmers are used to thinking in procedural or object-oriented ways. There is place for both declarative and procedural ways. Even hybrids.

Suicide Bombing Makes Sick Sense in 'Halo 3'

by karlcow

It's not just that I'm willing to sacrifice my life to kill someone else. It's that I'm exploiting the psychology of asymmetrical warfare.

by parmentierf (via)
