Cognitive Learning Lab Fall 2003
Purpose of the study • To try to replicate the findings from our previous research • To determine if there is a correlation between the participants emotions and the participants learning gains
Methods • 34 participants interacted with AutoTutor • Rater would observed the participant for 30 seconds every 5 minutes • Rater wrote down what emotion they thought the participant was experiencing • Emotions of interest • Frustration, Boredom, Flow • Confusion, Eureka, Neutral
Correlations with Learning Gains There were no significant correlations.
Median Split • Low domain knowledge group • Mean change score of 6.44 • High domain knowledge group • Mean change score was 1.38
Low domain knowledge group * a significant correlation
High domain knowledge group There were no significant correlations
Possible Confounds • Compared to last spring’s study, we had more raters and some different raters • Possible experimenter bias • Need completely naïve raters • Inter-judge reliability
