Zhrnutie	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.	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.
