Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Recent studies suggest that learners who are asked to predict the outcome of an event learn more than learners who are asked to evaluate it retrospectively or not at all. One possible explanation for this “prediction boost” is that it helps learners engage metacognitive reasoning skills that may not be spontaneously leveraged, especially for ...

Deceptive Overgeneralization: When Adaptive Learning Enables Systematic Misapplication
Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT Background Adaptive learning systems infer mastery from observed correctness, but this approach may fall short when learners exhibit ‘deceptive overgeneralization’—performing correct actions based on incomplete understanding. This phenomenon can mislead systems into prematurely stopping practice, leaving knowledge gaps unaddressed.

Concepts can be taught by presenting stimuli and differentially reinforcing responses to examples but not nonexamples. However, it is unclear which stimuli should be used and whether specifically designed stimuli can result in correct responding ...
