Learn the psychological constrictions of attention, perception, memory, disposition, motivation, and social influence that determine whether customers will be receptive to your digital innovations.
Bottlenecks: Aligning UX Design with User Psychology fills a need for entrepreneurs, designers, and marketing professionals in the application of foundational psychology to user-experience design. The first generation of books on the topic focused on web pages and cognitive psychology. This book covers apps, social media, in-car infotainment, and multiplayer video games, and it explores the crucial roles played by behaviorism, development, personality, and social psychology. Author David Evans is an experimental psychology Ph.D. and senior manager of consumer research at Microsoft who recounts high-stakes case studies in which behavioral theory aligned digital designs with the bottlenecks in human nature to the benefit of users and businesses alike.

    Gestalt” is the German word for shape or form, meaning we judge your meme based on its appearance and the company it keeps

    One set of persuasion strategies attempts to increase the attractive features of the alternative; the second set attempts to decrease the negative features of the alternative. We have called the first one the alpha strategies because they seem always to be the first ones attempted.... We have called the second set the omega strategies because they attempt to reduce the resistance to selecting an alternative, because omega is the universal sign of resistance, and because they seem often to be the last strategies considered.

    when you notice that a company is using loud, distracting peripheral routes to persuasion, it might signal that their product is not entirely worth the cost. Any time you’re in a teen-apparel store with loud music, disconcertingly cold air-conditioning, and wall-sized posters of attractive models wearing perplexingly little clothing at all, ask yourself whether it might be intended to distract your internal counterargument against paying those prices for logoed T-shirts
