• Recognition-Primed Decision Making — When Expert Intuition Is Reliable Klein's RPD model (1989/1998) describes how experts make rapid decisions by pattern-matching against past experience, not by comparing options. The Klein-Kahneman 2009 synthesis specifies the conditions under which intuition is reliable: high-validity environments + prolonged practice with rapid feedback. Predicts where AI itself will struggle for the same reasons.
• Dual-Process Thinking — System 1, System 2, and Why Scroll Behavior Is Pure System 1 Kahneman's framework: System 1 is automatic and fast (intuition, perception, heuristics); System 2 is effortful and slow (deliberation, calculation). Most content decisions happen entirely in System 1. The wiki's existing concepts (mental availability, scarcity, information scent) all rest on this substrate.
• Information Foraging — What It Means People seek information the way predators seek food: optimizing rate of valuable information gained per unit cost. Explains scroll behavior, diet selection, and why volume alone doesn't drive attention.
• Persuasion Principles — The Six Cialdini Levers Of Compliance Six psychological principles (reciprocation, commitment & consistency, social proof, liking, authority, scarcity) that trigger near-automatic compliance. Cialdini's framework applies wherever a specific persuasion moment matters — clicks, shares, sales, conversions.
