Resumen	The Think-Aloud Protocol is a usability testing method in which participants verbalize their thoughts while completing tasks on a system. As users navigate an interface, they continuously narrate their observations, interpretations, and reasoning, allowing researchers to understand their mental models, decision-making, and frustration points. Originating from cognitive psychology research by Ericsson and Simon (1980), this method was adapted for HCI by Clayton Lewis and has become one of the most widely used techniques for identifying usability problems and understanding user behavior.	The Pluralistic Walkthrough is a usability inspection method that brings together users, developers, and usability specialists to walk through an interface and voice their reactions and concerns. Developed by Randolph Bias in 1992, this method combines elements of cognitive walkthroughs with user involvement, creating a collaborative evaluation setting that captures diverse perspectives. By including actual users in the evaluation session, the method bridges the gap between expert judgment and real-world user experience, uncovering unexpected insights and building stakeholder consensus around design improvements.
