Subclaims¶

q2 i? The HPK group exhibited unique lag-1 transitions (e.g., NoToExtra → AttemptSuccess; CorrectDecision → YesToExtra) and a significant FailedAttempt → FailedAttempt → FailedAttempt chain suggesting quick judgments rather than deep reflection. → Man Su 2025 q2 i? The LPK group showed a unique preparatory sequence (YesToExtra → AttemptSuccess) reflecting reliance on worked examples to build confidence before core tasks. → Man Su 2025 (2)

Man Su 2025¶

Man Su, Belle Dang, Andy Nguyen & Tomohiro Nagashima. (2025). Choice-making in an adaptive learning system with motivational pedagogical agents. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-025-00366-7

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Lag sequential analysis of logged choice actions in the classroom study, with significant transitions defined by z > 1.96 and Q > 0.30. This repeated-failure chain was significant only for the HPK group, and the authors connect it to unreflective repetition and help avoidance.

"However, HPK group ’s sequence (FailedAttempt → FailedAttempt → Fail- edAttempt) suggests that some successes may have resulted from quick judgments of repeated failed attempts rather than thorough refl ections or deep reasonings."

Man Su 2025 (2)¶

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Lag sequential analysis comparing transition matrices for HPK and LPK students. The YesToExtra → AttemptSuccess transition appeared only in the LPK group, which the authors read as reliance on preparatory worked examples to build confidence.

"the LPK group demonstrated a distinct preparatory approach, with the sequence #16 (YesToExtra → AttemptSuccess) being unique to this group."
