Users of help systems often complain that they do not find them useful; while they still use help at least occasionally, they resort to other problem-solving strategies. In this paper, we analyze audiovisual recordings of people using a computer application, to identify (1) transition patterns among problem-solving approaches, and (2) the frequency of these transitions. Our analysis indicates that people switch frequently between consulting help and exploring the interface. Switching between problem-solving approaches appears to be an effective way of succeeding in tasks. Applications and their help systems can be better designed to support users who switch between help and non-help approaches to solving problems.

概要の日本語訳
ヘルプシステムの利用者はしばしばそれらを有用と感じないと不満を言います。それでも、彼らは時折ヘルプを利用しますが、他の問題解決戦略に頼ることもあります。本論文では、コンピュータアプリケーションを使用する人々の音声ビジュアル録画を分析し、問題解決アプローチの間の遷移パターンとその頻度を特定します。分析の結果、人々はヘルプの参照とインターフェースの探索の間を頻繁に切り替えています。問題解決アプローチの切り替えは、タスクを成功させる効果的な方法のようです。アプリケーションとそのヘルプシステムは、問題解決においてヘルプと非ヘルプのアプローチを切り替えるユーザーをサポートするためにより良く設計されるべきです。
