The think-aloud method, in which users verbalize thoughts generated during a task, provides insight into users' task-directed cognitive processes. However, verbalization during a task is burdensome and reactive, and the words used and amount of speech vary between users. To overcome this challenge, we propose the ah-aloud method in this study, wherein cognitive processes are expressed solely using "ah" and evaluated through vocal volume and intonation. Experiments compared to think-aloud using video game tasks with Japanese-speaking participants showed negligible difference in the reduction of verbalization burden and reactivity. It seems that people are very different regarding whether think-aloud or ah-aloud is easier. However, we found that ah-aloud can express various feelings, so we will establish ah-aloud position by comparing it with experimental methods to evaluate feelings, such as physiological signal measurement. We also discuss the recommended methods for obtaining think-aloud data. Additionally, we surveyed the literature pertaining to English interjections and discussed the possibility of extending this method to other languages.
