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.
q3 i2 Integrated cognitive and emotional AI support yielded a near-medium effect on students' affective experience (g = 0.42, k = 11). → Heng Zhang 2025
q3 i? Integrated support showed a very small effect on perception (g = 0.18) whose confidence interval includes zero. → Heng Zhang 2025 (2)
Evidence¶
Heng Zhang 2025¶
Heng Zhang, Yuhan Liu, Meilin Jiang, Juanjuan Chen, Minhong Wang, Fred Paas. (2025). Emotional Artificial Intelligence in Education: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-025-10086-4
q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r3
Random-effects meta-analysis of Category 1 studies on affective experience, k = 11. The pooled "g = 0.42" with CI [0.06, 0.78] is near-medium; individual effects ranged from −0.28 to 2.20, with negative effects in three studies.
"The weighted mean ES ( g) for students’ affective experience is 0.42 (95% CI [0.06, 0.78], k = 11, τ² = 0.27, I² = 45.1%), suggesting a near-medium effect, with individual ESs ranging from − 0.28 to 2.20."

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Random-effects meta-analysis of Category 1 studies on perception, k = 5. The pooled "g = 0.18" has a confidence interval spanning zero, so the effect on perception was not statistically significant; heterogeneity was high (I² = 63.7%).
"The overall effect size is very small ( g = 0.18, 95% CI [−0.41, 0.77], k = 5 , τ² = 0.41, I² = 63.7%), with individual ESs ranging from − 0.62 to 0.71."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Cognitive-only AI support yields medium effects on knowledge (g = 0.52), skill (g = 0.44), and affect (g = 0.48) and a large effect on perception (g = 0.85) — related
- Integrated support outperforms cognitive-only support for knowledge acquisition but is less effective for perception, with similar effects on affect — related
