Resumé	Retrospective Think-Aloud is a variant of the Think-Aloud Protocol in which participants complete a task without verbalization, then immediately review a video or replay of their task performance and narrate their thoughts, reasoning, and reactions. This method captures post-hoc reflection on decision-making and user experience without disrupting task execution. Particularly valuable for exploring user awareness, emotional reactions, and retrospective sense-making, Retrospective Think-Aloud provides the explanatory richness of concurrent thinking aloud without the disruption.	Contextual Inquiry is a field research method for understanding users by observing and interviewing them in their real work environment. Developed by Hugh Beyer and Karen Holtzblatt at Applied Research and Technology, this method combines ethnographic observation with targeted questioning to capture not just what users say they do, but what they actually do—including workarounds, informal practices, and priorities often invisible in lab settings. Contextual Inquiry uncovers the context, constraints, and real-world complexity of user tasks, providing rich insights for user-centered design.
