ABSTRACT

Some other probes were deleted because they were found to be more difficult concepts for a person just learning to conduct a Cognitive Task Analysis to understand and explore; others were deleted because they elic­ ited redundant information from the subject-matter experts being inter­ viewed. To streamline the method for inclusion in the ACTA package, eight probes were identified that seemed most likely to elicit key types of cogni­ tive information across a broad range of domains.
