New York:<br \/>\nGuilford, 1984. 53-71.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The team of authors present this essay as a practical variation of protocol<br \/>\nanalysis much different from the theoretical treatment they published in 1983.<br \/>\nProtocol studies, they explain, focus on &quot;individual processes&quot; and they operate<br \/>\nin the interest of what they call &quot;close modeling&quot; (53). &quot;Close modeling&quot;<br \/>\ndesignates that the model is an intermediary between the minutiae of acts<br \/>\ncarried out by the individual writer and larger tendencies that can be traced<br \/>\nacross most writers when they write (given a regular, stated task or<br \/>\nassignment). <\/p>\n<p>The protocol produces a sequential record of the individual processes, and,<br \/>\nbecause it is extraordinarily detailed, it produces too much information (56).<br \/>\nHow do researchers respond when there is too much data? Computational<br \/>\nmethods. Limited scope. More deliberate selections. Samples,<br \/>\netc. From the collection regimen, protocol analysts proceed with the<br \/>\nclassification of activity according to a regularized process for writing&#8211;the<br \/>\ncognitive process model Flower and Hayes introduced in 1981. Analysts,<br \/>\ncalled &quot;judges,&quot; study the protocols for &quot;episodes&quot; or moments when there is a<br \/>\nshift in focus or attention. Also, protocol studies are compatible with<br \/>\nfour methods: 1.) exploratory (what if); 2.) comparative (similarity and<br \/>\ndifferentiation); 3.) hypothesis and testing; and 4.) modeling of the writing<br \/>\nprocess. This fourth and final point gets the lightest treatment.<br \/>\nWhy? Also, there is very little discussion of what models <i>do<\/i>, or how they<br \/>\nare presented, set into motion, circulated, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>What discussion there is of what a model does is limited to this: <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Our own efforts have been to model the cognitive processes in writing, that<br \/>\nis, to describe the key mental processes and their organization. Modeling not<br \/>\nonly creates a theoretical framework for studying writing, but tries to account<br \/>\nfor how people actually carry out the complex process of composing&quot; (68). <\/p>\n<p>Models &quot;describe&quot;; they &quot;create a theoretical framework,&quot; and they aid in<br \/>\naccounting for complex processes. A tall order! Can models do all of<br \/>\nthis? Later, the group states that &quot;[w]hether it is fully articulated or<br \/>\nbarely conscious, we all bring a &#8216;model&#8217; or set of assumptions to research,<br \/>\nwhich to a large degree guides our questioning&quot; (69). Models are, then, &quot;set[s]<br \/>\nof assumptions,&quot; too. I can&#8217;t hurry through each of these ways of pinning<br \/>\n&quot;models&quot; to a particular function. But it does begin to seem like the<br \/>\nnotion of &quot;modeling&quot; itself becomes a free agent&#8211;a Katamari ball ricocheting<br \/>\noff of too many matters for it to make any sense at all. Are models<br \/>\ndescriptive? Is this true of both discursive and presentational (i.e.,<br \/>\nvisual) models? Do models create a &quot;theoretical framework&quot; or a<br \/>\n&quot;conceptual framework,&quot; and what is the difference (see Pemberton)? Models<br \/>\ncome to our rescue where complexity is concerned, but they might also move us<br \/>\ntoward complexity rather than always away from it. I mean that while many<br \/>\nmodels simplify, they can also complicate&#8211;unsettle commonplaces, and so on. <\/p>\n<p>My general sense is that &quot;models&quot; and &quot;model-making&quot; becomes a catch-all&#8211;a<br \/>\nsafety net for switching scales. Move from minutia (specificity and<br \/>\nprecision) to broader orders: turn to a model. Move from broader<br \/>\nmagnitudes back to the atomistic: a model. Still, the visual model from<br \/>\nFlower and Hayes&#8217; 1981 essay shows up here, unchanged (an ancestor in an aging<br \/>\nphotograph):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eris.earthwidemoth.com\/img\/flowerhayes1984.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"flowerhayes1984.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eris.earthwidemoth.com\/assets_c\/2007\/08\/flowerhayes1984-thumb-400x340.jpg?resize=400%2C340\" width=\"400\" height=\"340\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&quot;While this profusion of unselective data may seem overwhelming, it is<br \/>\nactually this method&#8217;s hidden strength: the very completeness of the picture of<br \/>\nthe writing process provides a check on the researcher&#8217;s hypotheses&quot; (53).<br \/>\nThe points about selectivity and hidden strength are interesting, but the<br \/>\n&quot;completeness of the picture of the writing process&quot; seems like an impossible<br \/>\npursuit. Still, even in light of post-process departures from routine, we<br \/>\nhave to wonder whether there is something lasting in the challenge of too much<br \/>\ndata, the decisions of what to do when faced with too much data, and even the<br \/>\nuse of less formal measures to get at what writers are thinking about when they<br \/>\ncompose. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Thinking-aloud protocols, which provide some of the <i>content<\/i> of the<br \/>\nwriter&#8217;s thoughts, give us many more data from which to draw inferences&quot; (55).<br \/>\nHmm.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;A protocol is a versatile research tool: it captures information from a<br \/>\nwriter while the writer is engaged in a whole range of composing subprocesses<br \/>\nand behaviors&quot; (65). Reminds me of Twitter. And although much of<br \/>\nthis work has slid into technical communications&#8211;studies of tasks and activity<br \/>\namong designers, for instance&#8211;it causes me to wonder about the capturing of<br \/>\ninformation&#8211;field-wide metadata&#8211;tied to other scales of production, like what<br \/>\nis called a &quot;discipline.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>Phrases: judges (68), float-dive in Atlantic Ocean (56) (method is not for<br \/>\nthe un-prepared); planning, translating, reviewing (60); model (69), episodes<br \/>\n(58)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Flower, Linda S., Heidi Swarts, and John R.
