Subclaims¶

q1 i? All errors SimStudent made during fraction-addition training were among the three most common human error types, and error types did not differ between problem orders. → Nan Li 2013

q1 · i? · causal · r2

Analysis of error patterns in the fraction addition simulation, benchmarked against a classroom study in which human students were taught to add fractions with an automated tutor; the three most common human error types included directly copying the denominator of the addends as the common denominator. The article reports "no difference between the types of errors made by SimStudent given problems in different orders".

"Since all of the errors made were human-like errors, there was no difference between the types of errors made by SimStudent given problems in different orders."
