The paper demonstrates how the Laboratory Research Framework fits into the holistic Cognitive Framework for IR. It first discusses the Laboratory Framework with emphasis on its underlying assumptions and known limitations. This is followed by a view of interaction and relevance phenomena associated with IR evaluation and central to the understan ding of IR. The ensuing section outlines how interactive IR is viewed from a Cognitive Framework, and ' light' interactive IR experiments are suggested performed by drawing on the latter framework' s contextual possibilities. These include independent variables drawn from a c ollection, m atching p rinciples i n a r etrieval s ystem, a nd t he s earcher' s s ituation a nd t ask c ontext. T he paper ends with concluding points of summarization for of issues encountered.
