Subclaims¶

q2 i? Perceived learning support was higher for AIfred (4.5/5 vs. 3.4/5, p<.001), as were innovation (4.5 vs. 3.5, p<.001) and user satisfaction (4.2 vs. 3.5, p=.04). → Gregorio Orlando 2026 q2 i? Cognitive demand trended higher with AIfred (3.4/5 vs. 2.9/5, p=.03), while perceived productivity was statistically indistinguishable (4.1/5 vs. 4.0/5, p=.61). → Gregorio Orlando 2026 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Post-experiment Likert (1-5) questionnaires in the n=36 study showed AIfred "scored higher than ChatGPT in perceived learning support (4.5/5 vs. 3.4/5;p < .001)"; innovation and satisfaction also favored AIfred. Only p-values and means are printed.

"AIfred scored higher than ChatGPT in perceived learning support (4.5/5 vs. 3.4/5;p < .001)"

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Self-reported cognitive demand "trended higher with AIfred (3.4/5 vs. 2.9/5;p=.03)", consistent with observed engagement; perceived productivity did not differ (4.1/5 vs. 4.0/5, p=.61). No effect sizes are printed.

"Cognitive demand trended higher with AIfred (3.4/5 vs. 2.9/5;p=.03)"
