Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? Learners in immersive media environments tend to treat pedagogical agents as if they were real people, primarily relying on biologically primary communication patterns, so social interaction closely resembles real-life human-human interaction. → Ross 2026
Evidence¶
Ross 2026¶

q1 · i? · theoretical · r3
Conceptual conclusion of the review's section on similarity to real-life human-human interaction, grounded in the computers-are-social-actors paradigm (Nass & Moon, 2000) and the multimodal, body-based interactivity of XR; the review reports no new empirical data for this prediction.
"It can be concluded that learners in immersive media environments tend to treat pedagogical agents as if they were real people, primarily relying on biologically primary communication patterns."
