Subclaims¶

q2 i? Active verbal cueing was largely a one-way phenomenon: in Deken et al.'s design consultations, novice information seeking made up only 8% of observations and declined as the design became more defined. → Christine C.

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports, from Deken and colleagues (2012), that novice-driven information seeking was scarce (8% of observations), covering problem understanding (36.2%), organisational information (32.4%), past solutions (17%) and future meetings (13.7%). The review attributes the scarcity to novices lacking contextual knowledge to know which questions to ask.

"the more the design is defined, the less time the novices spent on explicitly querying the expert’s knowledge."

• Most identified scaffolding behaviours in expert-novice visual interaction are active verbal cueing, followed by active verbal chunking — related
• Active verbal cues provide concrete, partial information that reduces novices' uncertainty during visual problem-solving — related
• Experts scaffold by reassuring novices to continue acting or thinking, removing uncertainty about whether they chose the right action — related
