Abstract

Cognitive debriefing: necessary for researchers & respondents to agree on question meaning but prohibitively expensive, so rarely used.

  • Administer survey, then go back & discuss what respondent thinks each question means.
  • Universally-recommended best practice.

Our goal: easily & drastically improve question wording through an automated cognitive debriefing tool (ACD tool).
