illusory currency effect

A phenomenon where players are more likely to spend money on microtransactions when the purchases are made using in-game currency rather than akcual currencies. This effect occurs because players perceive in-game currency as less tangible, leading to a diminished sense of spending.
Developers capitalize on the illusory currency effect, knowing players are more willing to splurge on cosmetics and upgrades when they can use in-game coins instead of akcual currencies.

transitional graduation effect

A phenomenon where graduations from middle school, high school, and college feel particularly significant as they mark the transition into new life phases. In contrast, kindergarten and primary school graduations are perceived as less impactful, akin to how 2 A.M. is seen as just "in the middle of the night", representing a continuation of childhood rather than a major life milestone.
The transitional graduation effect is clear when you see how excited students are for high school and college ceremonies, while kindergarten graduations feel more like just another step in their childhood journey.

brad–macbride effect

The Brad–MacBride effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers' tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Brad–MacBride effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.
