Abstract

The verbal reporting techniques used most in research on learning and instruction, concurrent and retrospective reporting, both have drawbacks. Retrospective reporting often results in omissions/fabrications, and concurrent reporting is difficult to implement when tasks impose high cognitive load or contain auditory information. Cued retrospective reporting (CRR) based on eye-movement records might be able to overcome these drawbacks: while maintaining the retrospective nature, the cue shows both physical (mouse/keyboard) and cognitive (eye movements) actions, thereby presumably leading to less omissions/fabrications. Because a previous study showed promising results, the present study extends the test of CRR to qualitative data (i.e., process coverage).
