verbal protocol

a method of eliciting verbal reports of individuals’ thoughts as they perform a set of specified research tasks. Participants are asked to describe whatever they are seeing, thinking, doing, and feeling as it occurs during task performance. Rather than capturing mere summaries of a task’s results, the method provides the researcher with insight about the cognitive processes involved in task completion and the representations on which they operate.
