The system gives the user warnings, reflective questions or reframes information. The goal is to break automatic behavior and prevent cognitive biases. By leveraging the fact that the user doesn’t want to regret later and surfacing potential risks or overlooked consequences, the system encourages conscious decision-making and reduces impulsivity. This pattern introduces a medium level of intervention. By intentionally slowing down interactions, it neglects the principle of “flow”. It prioritizes informed consent and prevents unconscious decisions, while sacrificing a certain level of seamlessness.
