Abstract

Among many computer tools that are provided for research development, especially with regard to language, the capture software technologies are important for the study of cognitive processes while performing activities using the computer as an electronic support. This article presents one – the capture software SnagIt – which records videos of the user's movements with the mouse, during the linguistic comprehension process, enabling analysis and reflections on the user’s journey and thereby their cognitive processing. Two psycholinguistic studies developed at the Reference Center for Language Development – CELIN/ FALE/ PUCRS – used this capture software in order to examine the linguistic comprehension strategies applied by the subjects. These studies are presented for demonstration and explanation.
