Most moderators have good techniques to get respondents to answer questions. Good moderators have an arsenal of methods to invite respondents to “go deeper, ” “say more,” “expand the rationales,” and/or explain the basis for a point of view. This webinar will cover:

· What is “top of mind” – and what is up there?

· RIVA suggested probes to get respondents to thoughtfully access information before surface answers
