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 i? Integrated cognitive and emotional support was more effective for knowledge acquisition than cognitive-only support, but less effective for perception, with similar effects on affect. → Heng Zhang 2025

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Cross-category comparison from the meta-analysis of 54 studies: Category 1 (integrated support, 17 studies) versus Category 2 (cognitive-only, 35 studies). The comparison contrasts "integrated support" with "cognitive-only support" across knowledge, perception, and affect outcomes; no effect size is printed for the difference itself.
"Integrated support was found to be more effective for knowledge acquisition than cognitive-only support, but less effective for perception, with similar effect on affect. Evidence for emotional-only support is limited (two studies)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Integrated AI support shows a near-medium effect on affective experience (g = 0.42) and a small, non-significant effect on perception (g = 0.18) — related
- Integrated AI-based cognitive and emotional support shows a large effect on knowledge acquisition (g = 0.88) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
