Frequency of Responses for Prior Task Knowledge, by Cognitive Complexity Level:

No participant reported never searching for information on their task before. Only analyse tasks did not report having been searched for 'very often'.

No participant reported knowing nothing about their task, and no participant reported knowing a great deal. Users engaged in understand tasks only reported knowing 'some'.

Mean Interest and Knowledge Increase, by Cognitive Complexity Level:

All participants in all task types reported being very interested in the task. This was likely as the participant had helped devise the tasks.

All users reported increased interest post-task, which contradicts the scores for the previous question. This may imply a decrease in interest (down from 5), or a poor question.

The biggest increase in knowledge was for those engaged in understand tasks, and the smallest by those completing evaluate tasks.
