Inclusive Design

Inclusive design requires understanding the wide range of mental processes people use, such as perception, memory, reasoning and learning styles, since recognizing this cognitive diversity is essential for truly inclusive outcomes.
"Designing for cognitive diversity necessitates a deep understanding of the wide array of mental processes users employ. These include perception, learning styles, memory capabilities, reasoning approaches, problem-solving strategies, decision-making frameworks, attentional capacities, levels of literacy and numeracy, existing prior knowledge, individual mental models, varying cognitive load tolerances, and prevalent cognitive biases. Recognizing the significance of these diverse cognitive profiles is absolutely fundamental to achieving truly inclusive design outcomes."
