Subclaims¶

q2 i? Correlations between student-'Chinese-top' couplings during Math sessions and Chinese scores, and vice versa, were not significant, suggesting top students serve as a discipline-specific rather than general exemplar. → Jingjing Chen 2023

Evidence¶

Jingjing Chen 2023¶

Jingjing Chen, Penghao Qian, Xinqiao Gao, Baosong Li, Yu Zhang and Dan Zhang. (2023). Inter-brain coupling reflects disciplinary differences in real-world classroom learning. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-023-00162-1

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Cross-discipline exploratory analysis of classroom EEG data testing whether top students' exemplar role is discipline-specific. No significant correlations were found; the authors attribute this to top students exhibiting "discipline-speci fic optimal learning processes".

"Notably, no signi ficant correlation was found between the student- “Chinese-top” couplings during the Math sessions and the learning outcomes for Chinese and vice versa."
