Subclaims¶

q2 i? In simulation experiments with a fully inconsistent initial student model, strategy 3 produced more consistent final LSp values and fewer learning problems (average 24) than strategy 2 (average 26) and strategy 1 (average 197.5). → Fabiano Dorça 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Simulation experiments (10 executions each) comparing three reinforcement strategies for updating probabilistic learning styles, with an initially inconsistent student model. The article reports "a reduction in the number of learning problems" under strategy 3 relative to strategy 2, and strategy 2 in turn improved on strategy 1 (average 197.5 learning problems per execution).

"We can notice a better level of consistency in these results, when comparing them with results obtained through strategy 02 (Table6). It shows a reduction in the number of learning problems, consequently reducing the number of iterations"
