__FORCETOC__ Process tracing is a method used to evaluate and develop theories in psychology,〔Schulte-Mecklenbeck, M., Kühberger, A. & Ranyard, R. (Eds.). (2011). A Handbook of Process Tracing Methods for Decision Research: A Critical Review and User’s Guide. New York: Taylor & Francis.〕 political science〔https://ideas.repec.org/a/eee/jobhdp/v43y1989i1p75-117.html〕 or usability studies. In process tracing studies multiple data points are collected in comparison to simple input-output methods, where only one measurement per task is available. ==Thinking aloud== Thinking aloud protocols are a type of verbal protocols, used for eliciting and analyzing verbal data. Once transcribed, the verbalizations can be categorized into a defined scheme. This makes the data manageable. A thinking aloud protocol is one way to assess cognitive processes by letting people verbalize aloud what they currently think (concurrent verbal protocol) or what they were thinking (retrospective verbal protocol) while performing a task. Furthermore, depending on the type of the question asked, it can be distinguished structured verbal protocols and unstructured verbal protocols. It is assumed that the report of this verbal stream can be used as a proxy for the content of working memory and hence reflects the cognitive processes while performing a task. Verbal protocols can be used in any research that focusses on understanding cognitive processes. Specifically, thinking aloud protocols can be helpful to study human decision making (Schulte-Mecklenbeck, Kühberger, & Ranyard, 2011). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Process tracing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
