Abstract:In order to understand the engineers' behavior while designing it needs to be revealed how the designer perceives function-shape-relations of a technical system. Eye tracking is a adequate method to observe the proceedings of the human analyzing technical systems. However, further information for concluding on the designer's perception is needed. Well-established methods in order to elicit further implicit and tacit knowledge are think aloud approaches. The combination thinkaloud and eye tracking is not yet ob… Show more
“…In Ruckpaul et al . (2014), two different think-aloud methods, that is concurrent and retrospective, are analyzed for the evaluation of a drawing of a technical system – actually, participants are asked to judge if the system works correctly. The findings show that the two methods, while performing differently in terms of the extracted content of the verbalization, do not show significant variations in terms of ET measures.…”

AbstractDesign is inherently affected by human-related factors and it is of no surprise that the fine-tuning of instruments capable of measuring aspects of human behavior has attracted interest in the design field. The recalled instruments include a variety of devices that capture and quantitatively assess people's unintentional and unconscious reactions and that are generally referred as neurophysiological or biometric. The number of experimental applications of these instruments in design was extremely limited as of 2016, when Lohmeyer and Meboldt published a first report on relevant measures and their interpretation in design. In the last few years, the number of relevant publications has increased dramatically and this determines the opportunity to carry out a comprehensive review in the field. The reviewed contributions are analyzed and classified according to, among others, instruments used, the kind of stakeholders involved and the supported design research activities. The role of biometric measures with respect to traditional research methods is emphasized too. The discussed instruments can represent supports or substitutes for traditional approaches, as well as they are capable of exploring phenomena that could not be addressed hitherto. The intensity of research concerning experiments with biometric measurements is discussed too; a particular focus of the final discussion is the individuation of obstacles that prevent them from becoming commonplace in design research.

“…Previously, the combination of thinking aloud and eye tracking was observed in detail (Ruckpaul et al, 2014a), and results showed that the former did not have significant influence on the latter. Here, we may consider the dynamics of shifting viewpoints and verbal features as independent but connected when a product is examined by the user.…”
Section: Dynamics Of Shifting Viewpoints and Verbal Featuresmentioning
This study focuses on how products are viewed by their users. In order to capture users' viewpoints, we focused on how the virtual 3D model of a product was examined (rotated/translated/moved by the user). We attempt to understand these viewing mechanisms by focusing on the dynamics of shifting viewpoints and verbal features during the generation of product impressions. The notion of dynamics of shifting viewpoints in this study refers to changes between 'still viewpoints' and 'moving viewpoints'. If, in a given period when product impressions are generated, a viewpoint does not change, it is defined as a still viewpoint, whereas a moving viewpoint refers to shifts in the ways in which the products are viewed during a given period. The notion of verbal features involves the quantitative characteristics of verbalisations. The findings from an experimental observation show that the dynamics of shifting viewpoints, verbal features, and user's preferences are related.
“…Die anschließenden retrospektiven Think-Aloud Interviews (vgl. Van Gog et al 2005;Ruckpaul et al 2015;Van Den Haak et al 2003;Whalley und Kasto 2014) wurden aufgezeichnet und analysiert. Sie bilden die Grundlage für die später formalisierte Beschreibung der Vorgehensweisen.…”
ZusammenfassungDer Erfahrungsaustausch über gute Praxis ist eine Grundvoraussetzung für das Verständnis zwischen Mensch und Technik, welches dabei hilft, dem Menschen als strategischen Entscheider und Nutzer eine optimale Unterstützung zukommen zu lassen. Um der Frage nachzugehen, was gute Praxis im Bereich der Roboterprogrammierung auszeichnet, haben die Autoren eine qualitative und deskriptive Studie mit einem Vergleich zwischen n = 2 Versuchspersonen durchgeführt. Ein Experte und ein Novize bearbeiteten dieselbe Aufgabe: das Programmieren einer Roboterbahn zum Fräsen eines Werkstückes. Mittels Eye-Tracking Analysen und videounterstützter retrospektiver Think-Aloud Interviews wurden die Vorgehensweisen beider Probanden extrahiert und das Vorgehen anschließend formalisiert beschrieben. Zusätzlich ist ein qualitativer Vergleich zwischen den Endergebnissen gezogen worden, bei dem der Experte erwartungsgemäß besser als der Novize abschnitt. Auf Basis der Think-Aloud Protokolle wurden kognitive Prozesse identifiziert, die in diesem Kontext von besonderem Interesse sein könnten. Weiterhin wurden Augenbewegungscharakteristiken zur näheren Beschreibung einiger der kognitiven Prozesse dargelegt.Praktische Relevanz: Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt ein methodisches Vorgehen zur formalisierten Beschreibung und Abbildung von menschlichem Expertenwissen beim Teach-in von Industrierobotern. Sie bildet die Basis für verschiedene zukünftige Projekte, z. B. das Erstellen von Richtlinien zum praktischen und effizienten Einlernen von Anfängern oder das Umsetzen von nutzerspezifischer Assistenz im Bereich des Teach-ins von Industrierobotern.
