Verbal Reports as Data.

Ericsson, K. Anders; Simon, Herbert A.

Psychological Review, v87 n3 p215-51 May 1980

Accounting for verbal reports requires explication of the mechanisms by which the reports are generated and influenced by experimental factors. We discuss different cognitive processes underlying verbalization and present a model of how subjects, when asked to think aloud, verbalize information from their short-term memory. (Author/GDC)
