q3 · i? · causal · r2

Transfer (T2, new topic) and retention (T3, no AI) comparisons of final draft scores across the four groups (Figure 8); the group ordering was broadly stable and the FRAC and combined groups maintained performance at T2 without an evident drop. No effect size is printed.

"A similar pattern appeared at T3, which was completed without AI support: although scores fluctuated slightly across groups, the combined and FRAC groups still outperformed the APCA and regular AI groups."

Related Claims¶

• In AI-assisted writing, the combined FRAC+APCA intervention produced the highest writing quality gains, with FRAC alone exceeding APCA alone, across T1–T3 — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The decisive empirical test of AI-augmented instruction frameworks is whether students retain representational competence when AI support is withdrawn — a broader claim this one bears on
• Robotic projected AI assistance yields 60% higher short-term learning transfer than screen-based ChatGPT once assistance is withdrawn — related

• Video-modeling of collaboration, especially with prompted reflection, produced more lasting learning about collaboration than scripted practice once script supports were withdrawn — related
• In one 2×2 experiment with 120 undergraduates, an Assessment-Performance Calibration Activity (APCA) gave the most accurate self-assessment and least overconfidence, and adding a feedback-literacy script did not improve calibration further — reports the opposite
• All three intervention groups converted AI feedback into effective revisions more successfully than regular AI use, with the combined group highest in effective adoption rate — related
