Investigating whether fluent, integrated AI explanations increase perceived understanding more than readers' ability to independently reconstruct and evaluate scientific arguments.
Investigating whether fluent, integrated AI explanations increase perceived understanding more than readers’ ability to independently reconstruct and evaluate scientific arguments.
Highlights
- Designing experiments that distinguish textbase recall, relational understanding, provenance and critical judgment, transfer, and calibration.
- Comparing paper-only, factual-guide, and integrated-explanation conditions, with follow-up studies on generation-preserving scaffolds.
