Cognition Catalog // Memory Inhibition

Peek Behind the Curtain of your Subconscious

This comprehensive series explores the world of cognitive biases in technology and product design. Inspired by the Cognitive Bias Codex from Design Hacks, this series transcends a simple catalog of biases, turning them into valuable insights for UX designers, product managers, engineers, and the entire team.

Memory Inhibition is a cognitive process where the brain actively suppresses or hinders the recall of certain memories. This mechanism helps in filtering out irrelevant or distracting information, enabling us to concentrate on the task at hand. It's a form of mental prioritization that plays a crucial role in learning and decision-making.
