Cognitive bias in UX, ambient-drive experiences, conversational design and more UX this weekWhat's hot in UX this week.
Cognitive biases in user research →Bias is everywhere in society, it is inscribed in our very own behaviors. Our biases are unconscious and we enact them without intent to harm others or affect our relationships, yet they do, and in fact they frame and constrain all interactions in society. They are the reason women are paid less than men for the same work, the reason why journalists present the information their audience wants to hear and how guesses are presented as facts in headlines. We see this everywhere in society; in homes, in universities, the court system, in workplaces. It impacts many aspects of our lives and it is natural that it extends to our interactions with clients and users during user testing. The cult of conversational design and why forms aren't dead yet →Conversational UIs were breaking out of messaging apps and into the products we use every day. The UX of ambient-driven experiences →Why facial recognition cameras and listening devices will become more and more common in the home and in business locations. By Joe Johnston. Planning for accessibility →Incorporating accessibility from the beginning is almost always easier, more effective, and less expensive than making it a separate project. By Laura Kalbag. Recruiting enterprise participants for pennies →Tips, requirements and practical advice on being a researcher for an enterprise product. By cary-anne olsen-landis. Avoiding bias in your UX feedback →How do you know whether users are being fair and objective in their feedback? What to do when you are asked to "refresh the personas" →UX designers are frequently tasked to 'refresh the personas' that were created several years ago. Let's unpack that. By Tamara Adlin. One year designing at WhatsApp →How to build products with strong principles in mind, balancing the right tools and the right skills. By Charlie Deets. Why you shouldn't UX test by gender →It's natural to try to get a handle on what is driving popularity of a platform by looking at the gender, age, education, of those using it. How to prove your product name resonates with users →It's easy to come up with a hundred names for your product, but how do you pick the right one? By Brooke Kao. UX for lizard brains →We still depend on the same bodies and brains that our ancestors used thousands of years ago to allow us to act in our environment, no matter how digitally enhanced.

A year ago…Whiteboard design challenge framework →The one common onsite interview round is a whiteboard challenge. Companies like Google had four whiteboard challenges on the day of the onsite interview which can take a toll on your thought process and have you brain-fried for the rest of the day. By Adhithya.
