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.
q3 i? Effective AI use positively influences students' sustainable learning performance, defined as retention, independent application, and transfer of learning. → Gao L 2026
Evidence¶
Gao L 2026¶
Gao L, Sun Y and Khan SU (2026) From enhancement to over-reliance: a mixed-method study of generative AI and sustainable learning performance. Front. Psychol. 17:1847369. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1847369
q3 · i? · associational · r2
In the PLS-SEM structural model of the 623-student three-wave sample, the study reports that "Effective AI use positively influences sustainable learning performance". Sustainable learning performance is measured as perceived long-term retention, independent application, and transfer.
"Effective AI use positively influences sustainable learning performance but also increases AI over-reliance, which negatively affects learning outcomes."

- Cognitive offloading tendency is negatively associated with critical thinking, technical problem-solving, and metacognitive self-regulation — related
- Immediate task success does not establish learning that persists without AI support — related
