Towards Cognitive Process-Aware Proactive Writing Support

The paper proposes a proactive writing support system that infers users’ needs from their writing interactions, using Flower and Hayes’ cognitive process theory as a framework. By mapping six cognitive processes to 14 specific support types and associated interaction behaviors, the authors develop AToM CoWriter, which offers context-aware suggestions without requiring explicit prompts. Two within-subjects studies with 21 participants show that this approach improves expressiveness, idea exploration, and engagement with proactive suggestions.
