Abstract
Following our first conceptualization of a cognitive analysis grid (CA grid) for IS research in 2014, the CA grid was improved and tested in a proof of concept manner. The theory and application of this method are briefly explained, along with lessons learned from a first experiment. The next steps in the validation of this method include applying it to a wider group of naïve participants. This will allow to draw statistical parallels between the cognitive demand of the interface and the performance of the users based on their cognitive profile. Ultimately, this technique should be useful both in NeuroIS research and user experience (UX) tests to guide hypotheses and explain user’s performance.

Notes
- 1.
Memory remains an important component of both the task and the cognitive profile of the individual, but since the content of every user’s memory is different; it is difficult to make valid attributions at the level of the task.
