q2 i? 41.7% of task samples shifted interaction pattern between the comprehension and production stages. → Kuang H 2026 q2 i? Pattern stability varied by cluster: Fast Scanners 96.2%, Intensive Engagers 74.5%, Frequent Switchers 50%, Traditionalists 18.6%. → Kuang H 2026 (2)

Evidence¶

Kuang H 2026¶

Kuang H, Li J and Weng Y (2026) Student-AI interaction in computer-assisted consecutive interpreting: patterns and performance. Front. Psychol. 17:1890808. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1890808

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Cross-stage comparison of cluster memberships for each task among 22 trainees. The article reports "41.7% exhibited pattern shifts"; percentages are descriptive with no effect size printed.

"Results showed that 58.3% of task samples maintained the same pattern across stages, while 41.7% exhibited pattern shifts."

Kuang H 2026 (2)¶

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Descriptive consistency rates per cluster across the two interpreting stages, reported in the results section. The article attributes Traditionalists' instability partly to task demands overriding initial AI resistance, per post-task interviews.

"Cluster 2 (Fast Scanners) demonstrated the highest consistency rate at 96.2%, followed by Cluster 1 (Intensive Engagers) at 74.5% and Cluster 4 (Frequent Switchers) at 50%. Cluster 3 (Traditionalists) was highly shifty, with only 18.6% of participants maintaining this pattern consistently."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶
