The confluence of behavioural science and dual-process theory: designing the flow to optimise function

The Behaviour Stream

Life isn’t a series of discrete decisions.

It is a continuous flow of influences steering you along your journey. The flow can push you off course, but can also be designed to keep you on track.

The Intention-Action Gap

Our brains evolved multiple systems that influence behaviour. Usually they work in concert, but sometimes they conflict and our good intentions don’t lead to good actions. Dual-process approaches help close the gap between intentions and actions.
