Understanding how our users work through psychology

Psychology is a valuable tool in understanding how our users work. Indeed, this science makes it possible to decipher their behaviors and their motivations to better meet their needs. In this part of the training, we will explore the different aspects of psychology that can be applied to interface design.

In particular, we will discuss the principles of visual perception and spatial organization, which make it possible to design visually effective supports. We will also see how to take into account the mental representations of users to design interfaces adapted to their needs.

Finally, we will study the principles of attention and engagement to better motivate your users and maintain their attention. With this knowledge, you will be able to create more efficient and intuitive user interfaces.

Skills to apply psychology to design

In this section, we will explore the key skills needed to apply psychology to design. First of all, it is important to understand the principles of spatial organization and visual perception to better design supports. Then, you have to be able to take into account the perceptions of users to anticipate uses.

It is also essential to know how to use mental representations to design adapted interfaces, as well as to mobilize the principles of attention and commitment to motivate your users. By developing these skills, you will be able to use psychology to create effective user interfaces.

In this hands-on training, we'll cover each of these skills in detail and teach you how to apply them in practice to improve your designs.

Support from a user research specialist

For this course, you will be accompanied by a specialist in user research, Liv Danthon Lefebvre, who has more than fifteen years' experience in the field. Having worked on numerous interactive products and services, such as professional efficiency applications, remote communication tools, virtual or augmented reality systems, Liv Danthon Lefebvre will guide you in the application of psychology to design. With her basic training in psychology, she will help you understand how to take advantage of psychology to design effective interfaces that are adapted to your users. You will be able to benefit from his skills and experience to improve your skills in designing user interfaces.
