cognitive-psychology
From the author
Core cognitive processes underlying human thought and behavior. Covers attention (selective, divided, sustained), memory systems (sensory, working, long-term, encoding, retrieval, forgetting), perception (top-down, bottom-up, Gestalt principles, perceptual constancy), decision-making (heuristics, biases, prospect theory, bounded rationality), language processing (comprehension, production, Broca/Wernicke, bilingualism), and problem-solving (algorithms, heuristics, insight, functional fixedness, mental set). Use when analyzing how people think, attend, remember, perceive, decide, or solve problems.

- computational-thinkingTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorComputational thinking as a problem-solving discipline independent of programming languages. Covers the four pillars (decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, algorithm design), computational problem-solving methodology (understand, decompose, generalize, formalize, verify), abstraction levels (from hardware through user interface), modeling and simulation, automata and formal languages (DFA, NFA, regular expressions, context-free grammars, Turing machines), computational complexity classes (P, NP, NP-complete, undecidable), and constructionist pedagogy (learning by building, Logo, Scratch, physical computing). Use when approaching unfamiliar problems, teaching problem-solving strategies, analyzing problem complexity, or bridging between domain knowledge and computational solutions.Design★ 71
- mindset-and-motivationTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorMindset theory, implicit theories of intelligence, and motivation research applied to learning. Covers fixed vs. growth mindset, the difference between process praise and ability praise, the "not yet" intervention, attribution patterns after failure, mindset critiques and the replication record, and the integration of mindset work with self-determination theory (autonomy, competence, relatedness). Use when a learner is stuck on motivation, disengaging after failure, or when a curriculum's feedback language is undermining persistence.Science★ 71
- behavioral-economicsTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorSystematic departures from rational choice theory and their implications for economic analysis and policy. Covers cognitive heuristics (anchoring, availability, representativeness), biases (loss aversion, status quo, overconfidence), prospect theory (reference dependence, probability weighting, diminishing sensitivity), nudge theory and choice architecture, and the integration of psychological findings into economic models. Use when analyzing decision-making under uncertainty, evaluating policy interventions that exploit behavioral patterns, or assessing where standard rational-agent models break down.Planning★ 71
- cognitive-variabilityinfranodus/skillsGuide conversations through dynamic shifts between zoom levels (scale) and connecting/exploring (intent) to unlock creative breakthroughs and prevent rigid thinking. Helps enhance and develop biased, focused, diversified, and dispersed states. Receives signals from the writing assistant's pattern detection to diagnose cognitive states. Identifies structural gaps between idea clusters as spaces for innovation. Tracks temporal dwelling patterns and manages energy across personality modes. Uses playfulness for difficult transitions from chaos to clarity. Reads emotional feedback (inspiration signals continuation; exhaustion or frustration triggers a transition). Prevents obsessive loops by cycling sustainably through topical clusters and latent nodes. Apply for complex analysis, when a user is stuck, breakthroughs, decision paralysis, group facilitation, breaking repetitive patterns, or when grammatical patterns reveal cognitive issues.Writing★ 122

- behavioral-marketingcbrock84/headcountApplies decision science and cognitive bias research to marketing and product decisions — how people actually choose under uncertainty, and how framing, defaults, sequencing, and social context change behavior. Use this to diagnose why a well-argued offer is not converting, to structure choices and pricing presentation, to design an experience around how attention and memory work, or to pressure-test whether a persuasion tactic is legitimate or manipulative.Marketing★ 2.1K
