The concepts to differentiate in behavioral sciences

How to develop your skills?

You have to know your subject (cognitive) and practice it (behavioral). These are two distinct processes, although complementary, that are accompanied differently.

When we take action, we systematically mobilize 2 distinct - and complementary - psychological forces.

One allows you to question the benefits of future action (motivation) and the other allows you to consider possible obstacles in order to overcome them (volition).

There is often confusion between nudges and notifications.

The second is however one type of nudge among hundreds - provided it is designed in the right way - and rather with low added value!

The two disciplines are often confused.

Behavioral Economics is included in Behavioral Sciences (although it is better known because it has been awarded a Nobel Prize).
