Cognitive Biases 101: How They Impact Users, Research, and Teams with STÉPHANIE WALTER April 2025

Our brains take shortcuts. Sometimes, that’s useful. Sometimes, it leads to biased decisions. These biases influence how users behave on websites. They also influence how we conduct research, and team dynamics within a project. This free session will help you recognize some biases, understand how they shape user behavior and decision-making, and learn how to work with (and around) them to improve your projects. 🎁 Whether you’re gathering in person or collaborating remotely, Stéphanie has two wonderful workshop kits to help your team understand and tackle cognitive biases in a hands-on, practical way. https://shop.stephaniewalter.design/b/cognitive-biases-remote-workshop-miro-figjam & https://shop.stephaniewalter.design/b/cognitive-biases-cards-pdf-workshop This was a free SmashingConf Online Workshop, more information about the workshop: https://smashingconf.com/online-workshops/workshops/cognitive-biases-stephanie-walter
