What you’ll learn
We asked our top UX consultants which researchfindings and models they found most useful in theirdaily practice. Some findings were new, and the old-est went back to 1908. Taken together, they requirea real shift in your understanding of how peoplefunction, and therefore a real shiff in how youdesign. These are the foundational models of the UX professional, and they will carry you forward as you continue to learn about the field.
