"Choice Architecture" vs. Salesmanship

Isn't this just buzzword bingo, or salesmanship? Seems like a lot of BS to me.....--74.107.74.39 (talk) 01:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is currently a sales promo for the book. It needs to be focused on the concept in a non-biased fashion or removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aetius41 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs updating / some re-write, especially before the use of the term spreads more widely

There is more information available on these pages, including an audio interview on one of them:

three aspects: the default, feedback, expecting error

"If anything you do influences the way people choose, then you are a choice architect," Thaler said. "If you remember one thing from this lecture, remember the following: Choice architects must choose something. You have to meddle. For example, you can't design a neutral building. There is no such thing. A building must have doors, elevators, restrooms. All of these details influence choices people make."

Three key features of choice architecture are the default, giving feedback, and expecting error, he said. "Default is what happens if you do nothing, such as leaving your computer unused until the screen saver appears," Thaler said. "The main lesson from psychology on this is that default options are sticky. Whatever you choose as the default has a very good chance of being selected. If you are the choice architect, you need to spend a lot of time thinking about what those default options should be."

People respond to feedback; for instance, someone designed light bulbs that glow darker shades of red as homes use higher levels of energy, he said. Such devices helped reduce energy use in peak periods by 40 percent in Southern California, Thaler said.

By expecting error, Thaler points to the design of the Paris subway card, which allows users to insert it into an electronic turnstile in any of four ways to gain entrance to the subway. "Compare that to exiting the parking garages of Chicago," he said. "You have to put your credit card in and there are four possible ways up, down, left, right and exactly one works. This is the difference between good and bad design."

Google is developing choice architecture to remind Gmail users when they forget an attachment or may be about to send a rude email, Thaler said. "If you mention the word attachment in the text of your email and you don't include an attachment, it would prompt you," he said. "Even better would be an emotion detection system that will send you a warning if you are about to send an angry email."

Shaping Operations

So I’m not sure this is a good example of choice architecture. You could potentially draw correlations between ADP 6-0 Misson Command and choice architecture. Shaping Operations aren’t really choices, they’re supporting efforts for decisive operations in order to achieve an end state or a specific set of conditions within the operational environment.
