Cognitive augmentation is a cornerstone in advancing education, particularly through personalized learning. However, personalizing extensive textual materials, such as narratives and academic textbooks, remains challenging due to their heavy use, which can hinder learner engagement and understanding. Building on cognitive … Continued
The effect of large language models (LLMs) in education is debated: Previous research shows that LLMs can help as well as hurt learning. In two pre-registered and incentivized laboratory experiments, we find no effect of LLMs on overall learning outcomes. … Continued
As generative artificial intelligence (genAI) becomes increasingly integrated into education and work, understanding who benefits most from human-AI collaboration is crucial. This study examines how domain expertise and individual differences—creative self-efficacy and baseline creative ability—influence human-AI co-creativity in an engineering … Continued
The benefits of digitalisation have been widely embraced, but little is known about one of its downsides, the gradual erosion of human interaction from our lives. What are the psycho-social implications of this? Do people value human contact, and do … Continued
As large language models (LLMs) become more capable and agentic, the requirement for trust in their outputs grows significantly, yet at the same time concerns have been mounting that models may learn to lie in pursuit of their goals. To … Continued
In recent years, the advancement of open science has led to data sharing becoming more common practice. Data availability has clear merits for science as it opens up possibilities for re-use of datasets by others, leading to less redundancy, more … Continued
The rapid advancement of generative AI has enabled the creation of pre-mortem digital twins, AI-driven replicas that mimic the behavior, personality, and knowledge of living individuals. These digital doppelgangers serve various functions, including enhancing productivity, enabling creative collaboration, and preserving … Continued
osf.io Collaborative learning – an educational paradigm in which students work together to master content and complete projects – has long been a staple of classroom pedagogy. However, the rapid development of Large Language Model chatbots (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, … Continued
This paper describes seven potential benefits of incorporating agent-based modeling (ABM) as a core research methodology for psychological research on social phenomena: building formal theories of complex social systems, validating multilevel causation, understanding temporal and non-linear dynamics, demonstrating the completeness … Continued
