Talk:Think aloud protocol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This should be called "think aloud", not "talk aloud".

I agree. Think aloud also gets a lot more Google hits so I moved it. Angela. 05:00, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)

Please provide a fuller citation for Lewis C. and Rieman J.

[edit] Moved from article: Recent research

Recent reserarch suggests the Think aloud protocol may cause users to adapt their behaviour when searching Google. The Heat Map images below show a similar pattern of users concentrating on a Golden Triangle or F Pattern.

A similar Golden Triangle or F Pattern was noted in a recent study comparing Think Aloud with Post experience eyetracked protocol.

(I moved the above from the article for discussion. The author has a clear WP:COI and all his edits to date have been promotional. As this is newly published research, it probably does not belong per WP:NPOV and WP:OR. Additionally, the eyetools.com reference is not a reliable source and the useit.com ref is questionable.) --Ronz 17:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
