| Abstract(in English) | In this study, we investigated, through a cognitive psychological experiment and its protocol analysis, human cognitive processes of searching information in the WWW space, and the effects of subjects' knowledge and experience on the searching processes and performance. In our experiment, the subjects were divided to two groups: one group of expert subjects and the other group of novice subjects. In the experimental results, we could not confirm the difference of the ratio of successful subjects who reached the solution, solution time, and the number of pages searched for finding between the two groups. We also proposed a description schema for tracing the subjects' searching processes in which the processes were described as transition patterns among four kinds of nodes: search, searched results, pages, and pages connected with a link. The result of the analysis using the schema identified some distinctive behavior of the subjects such as breadth-first search, depth-first search, and parallel search. |
