Important for this playbook

The Demonstrate strategy provide clear guidance through practical examples or models of desired behavior. It is particularly effective when users require tangible demonstrations to understand how to interact with a product or service.

Designers should look to this category in situations where users benefit from visual or hands-on learning experiences, such as when introducing new features or complex processes.

Theoretical backgrounds within psychology, such as observational learning theory and social cognitive theory, support the effectiveness of the “Demonstrate” behavior strategies by emphasizing the impact of modeling and imitation on behavior. By incorporating Demonstrate strategies, designers can offer users tangible examples that facilitate understanding and encourage desired actions.
