- No behavioral measure of compliance with MetaTutor's stay-on-page and move-to-next-page prompts relates to learning gains [-W]
- Higher compliance with MetaTutor's review-notes prompt is associated with larger proportional learning gains [+M]
- Higher compliance with MetaTutor's revise-summary prompt is associated with larger proportional learning gains [+M]
- Higher compliance with MetaTutor's suggest-subgoal prompt is associated with larger proportional learning gains [+M]
