Abstract

This chapter describes the method of cued retrospection and how to implement it into research designs. Cued retrospection orginated in psychology and has been used in interpreting studies since the mid 1990s. It is based on the participants’ own recollection of the processes of tasks collected immediately after those tasks. The chapter reviews the method and its key concepts, the state of the art, and ethical issues of data collection using cued retrospection. We also describe how it has been used in CTIS research and which tools can be applied for the efficient collection and analysis of cued retrospection data. Finally, we discuss some challenges of employing cued retrospection.
