How does this skill help with usability issues?

It provides structured steps for executing usability testing, observing behavioral friction, and measuring task success rates to identify specific UI/UX problems in existing products.

What are the three dimensions of user research covered?

The methodologies are categorized by Attitudinal vs. Behavioral (what people say vs. do), Qualitative vs. Quantitative (depth vs. scale), and Generative vs. Evaluative (discovery vs. validation).

When should I use generative vs. evaluative research?

Generative research should be used at the start of a project to discover unmet needs, while evaluative research is used later to validate and refine specific design concepts.

Can I use this for information architecture?

Yes, the skill includes card sorting methodologies to help understand user mental models and organize content navigation based on how users naturally group information.
