สรุป	The NASA Task Load Index (TLX) is a multi-dimensional subjective workload assessment tool developed at NASA Ames Research Center by Sandra Hart and Lowell Staveland in the 1980s. TLX measures perceived mental workload across six dimensions—mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort, and frustration—allowing researchers and practitioners to understand the cognitive and affective burden of tasks and interfaces. The instrument is widely used in human factors, cognitive engineering, and HCI to identify task bottlenecks and evaluate system designs.	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.
