Evaluating a cognitive tool built to aid decision making using decision making approach as a theoretical framework and using unobtrusive, behavior-based measures for analysis

摘要: Previously I designed and built an interface with the purpose of augmenting decision making within a particular curricular context. The present study explores usability newly created cognitive tool through analyzing its impact upon facilitating making. introduction discusses how different types tools facilitate from perspective. examines dashboard by first breaking it into five constituent regions. methods section hypothesized function usage patterns each region. primary research question was whether these regions would cause participants to exhibit exploratory behaviors. Differences in between regions, combined knowledge function, allowed this classify region tool. This also considered several secondary factors including participant experience technology, making, spatial acuity, performance. contribution is technique that offers researchers increased capabilities conduct unobtrusive quantitatively informs design. next step for extend focus longer-term questions.
