Cognitive Bias

A systematic error of thinking or rationality in judgment that influence our perception of the world and our decision-making ability.

The design-system take

Where the principle shows up in a token, component or pattern decision.

Defaults, anchors and framing are biases you can design with deliberately — or accidentally. A pre-selected plan or a "most popular" badge is a bias doing work; know which side you are on.
