What is User Experience?
What is User Experience? 
Responsive Page Layout?
What is User Experience? 
The look and feel?
What is User Experience? The interaction 
design?
NO 
UX doesn’t happen on a screen.
UX happens here. In the mind.
User Experience is multidimensional.

The Six Minds
Vision / Attention 
‣ Visual features drawing attention? 
- Edges 
- Contrast 
- Shape 
- Colors 
- Patterns 
‣ Words searched for? 
‣ Visual flow? 
Vision / Attention
Vision / Attention 
‣ What have they tuned their visual system to find? 
‣ What are they searching for and why?
Memory / Semantics 
‣ Mental schemas activated 
‣ Primed concepts 
‣ Social nature of primed concepts

Emotion 
‣ What autonomic responses are being triggered? 
‣ What are immediate hot-button issues? Why? 
‣ What is desired? Satisfying? 
‣ What are their biggest fears? 
‣ What do they stand to lose? 
Emotion
Emergent UX: Seducing the Six Minds - Full Talk
Language 
‣ Which terms are being used? 
‣ What level of expertise does this imply? 
‣ What would be the right tone of expression 
for this person? 
Language
Language 
“Dude, Uncle Sam is totally 
going to take some of your 
money and that is so not cool.” 
“…generally recognizes gain or 
loss on a liquidation equal to the 
difference between the fair 
market value of Target's assets 
and Target's basis…” 
“You are taxed on gains when 
you sell a company.”
Wayfinding 
‣ Navigation cues 
‣ Sense of location 
‣ Interaction expectations 
Wayfinding
Wayfinding 
‣ Do they know where they are? 
‣ Do they know what actions to take? 
‣ What interaction model and flow to they expect?
Problem Solving 
‣ What is the problem space this person is working in? 
‣ What do they believe the problem is that they 
believe they are solving? 
‣ How taxed is their working memory? 
‣ How much will they “satisfice” vs. collect 
the appropriate facts to make a deliberate 
decision?

Two systems
System 1: 
conscious, focused, deliberate
System 2: 
unconscious, fast, estimates
We as UXers underestimate the power of 
System 2 and don’t take full advantage of it.

Much of User Experience originates from System 2

Humans are only aware of a tiny fraction of our thoughts.
So how do we get the User Experience right?

Emergent User Experience 
#EmergentUX
Emergent UX 
EmergentUX is a process that uses psychology at 
every stage of the user experience process to infer 
the emergent psychological properties during the 
user research, strategy and design phases.

Translation: 
The unspoken is often the most seductive. 
Emergent UX reveals the things people can’t tell you.
