  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Thinking aloud is often perceived as unnatural and challenging by participants.
  • Understanding factors influencing ease of thinking aloud is crucial for research methodologies.

  • To investigate the relationship between Ease in Thinking Aloud, verbal fluency, self-talk, and Big Five personality traits.
  • To identify predictors of successful thinking aloud in a diverse adult sample.
