Peak-End Rule describes a key principle of human memory: people evaluate experiences primarily based on how they felt at the most intense moment (the peak) and at the conclusion, rather than by averaging every moment of the experience.
Rooted in behavioral psychology and widely applied in UX design, this rule reminds us that not all moments carry equal weight. A single high point or a strong ending can disproportionately shape how an experience is remembered. Effective interfaces intentionally design peaks — moments of delight, clarity, or success — and ensure that the final interaction leaves users with a positive, satisfying impression.
This poster presents the Peak-End Rule as part of a broader collection exploring cognitive laws and UX fundamentals — created for designers, product teams, and anyone interested in how memory and emotion shape perceptions of digital experiences.
