Cognitive Walkthroughs

A Cognitive Walkthrough is a method used to evaluate how easy and intuitive a product or website is to use. Experts simulate a typical user’s journey by stepping through each task, like signing up or finding information. They ask questions about whether the user’s goals and thought processes are supported at each step, identifying potential confusion or obstacles. This helps designers improve the interface so that users can complete their tasks smoothly and confidently, enhancing overall usability.
