I've certainly heard people

I've certainly heard people voice frustrations during standard think-aloud exercises. And god knows I've heard some frank and honest thoughts spoken aloud, but I wonder if - sometimes - we don't ask too much of our test subjects in Usability Evaluations. Standard 'think aloud' protocol requires our test users to simultaneously perform a task, and justify their actions verbally. And worry about how their being perceived by the evaluator. And act as if the artifice of the test environment (and the tasks they've been assigned) doesn't exist. ( Essay Help and coursework writing )

It's very interesting seeing your interpretation of the presentation. One more point about Think Aloud --- Another reason we use this modified approach (we call it REPLAY Usability) is that we can measure eye tracking without stopping the user's flow from page to page. As you can imagine, a pure Think Aloud protocol does not mix well with eye tracking data collection. The user's head would be moving around and turning to face the moderator all of the time.
