q2 · i? · design · r2

Analysis of past learning record volumes shown in Figure 4(a), a plotted numerical pattern rather than an analytic derivation. The article attributes the trend to a more comprehensive cognitive prototype; 0.94 is an accuracy, not an effect size.

"As shown in Figure 4 (a), increasing the number of past learning records from 10 to 40 leads to con- sistent improvements in both behavior prediction and solution simulation. Specifically, the behav- ior prediction accuracy reaches 0.94 at 40 records, marking a substantial improvement."
