In this paper, we explore the usefulness of thinking-aloud protocols as a means of characterizing cognitive tasks involved in executing digital information tasks. In particular, we used protocol analysis to detect levels of cognitive tasks in which hypertext users are involved, and to investigate the way in which spatial descriptions are used to conceptualize users' tasks.
