Moderated studies allow User Experience researchers to have real-time discussions with real users regarding digital products. In the past, such sessions would be carried out in a lab, but nowadays it is possible to conduct these sessions remotely.
During the session, the researcher will ask you questions and/or ask you to complete tasks. This is in order to know more about you as a user and know how you interact with the product being tested (i.e. websites, apps, etc.).
