Information

Users filter out a lot of information that they receive, even when it could be important.

In user experience design, understanding the role of information is crucial. Users have limited attention and filter out information, focusing only on what seems relevant. You must present information effectively by prioritizing critical information, minimizing distractions, and ensuring essential content is readily accessible. By accommodating the limitations of user attention, you can create interfaces that guide users toward their goals with clarity and efficiency.
