摘要

[目的/意义]探究不同认知能力的用户在信息搜索行为、认知路径特征以及认知转换上的差异性,理解用户在搜索即学习过程中的搜索状态和学习状态,帮助改进搜索系统的设计以更好地支持用户获取信息。[方法/过程]采用受控用户实验法,将用户根据认知能力分为两组,每组用户分别完成三种类型的信息搜索任务,使用录屏记录与出声思维法采集搜索与学习过程实验数据,采用非参数检验法进行数据分析。[结果/结论]研究发现,认知能力高低程度不同的搜索者在认知转换上存在显著差异。不同类型的认知能力对搜索者的搜索行为和认知路径存在不同的影响,类比推理、逻辑判断、数量关系、常识认知、语言逻辑能力都对用户搜索行为有显著影响,逻辑判断、常识认知和语言逻辑能力在认知路径上发挥重要作用。

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Investigating the differences in search behavior, cognitive path characteristics and cognitive transitions of users with different cognitive abilities is helpful to understand users’ search and learning behavior in the search process, and improve the search system to better support users’ information acquisition process. [Method/Process] With the controlled user experiment, this paper divided the participants into two groups according to their cognitive ability, and asked them to complete three types of search tasks respectively. It collected the search and learning data through screen recording and out-of-speech thinking method, and analyzed it by non-parametric test method. [Result/Conclusion] This study finds that searchers with different cognitive abilities have significant differences in cognitive abilities. Different types of cognitive ability have different impacts on the search behavior and cognitive path of searchers. The user’s search behavior is significantly affected by analogical reasoning, logical judgment, quantitative relations, common sense cognition, and verbal logic ability. The logical judgment, common sense cognition, and language logic ability play an important role in the cognitive pathway.
