Tiivistelmä	Micro-phenomenology is a qualitative research method for exploring subjective experience through detailed, guided introspection. Developed by Claire Petitmengin, this method uses specialized interview techniques to help participants articulate pre-reflective, embodied experience—the lived moment-to-moment texture of interacting with a system. Unlike standard interviews (which ask abstract questions) or think-aloud protocols (which are concurrent and potentially disruptive), micro-phenomenology guides participants to re-live and describe specific moments of experience in granular detail, revealing tacit knowledge and non-conscious processes.	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.
