q2 i? Trained teams included more reward solution elements (17.6% vs 11.1%) and fewer system elements (45.8% vs 73.3%) than untrained teams, and used fewer solution elements per problem (2.73 vs 6.22). → Todd 2019

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive comparison of solution elements across old and new problems for trained versus untrained teams (Table 4). Untrained teams had 56 solution elements within nine problems; trained teams had 153 elements within 56 problems, equating to 6.22 versus 2.73 elements per problem as printed. The authors' interpretation that alignment with precise problem statements explains the difference is offered, not tested.

"Untrained teams used more than twice the number of solution steps for their problems as did trained teams. This suggests that trained teams may have aligned their solutions with precision problem statements and not required as many solution steps to meet the desired goal (and solve the problem)."
