Large-scale randomized experiments reveals that machine learning-based instruction helps people memorize more effectively
Abstract We perform a large-scale randomized controlled trial to evaluate the potential of machine learning-based instruction sequencing to improve memorization while allowing the learners the freedom to choose their review times. After controlling for the length and frequency of study, we find that...

Sumario: | Abstract We perform a large-scale randomized controlled trial to evaluate the potential of machine learning-based instruction sequencing to improve memorization while allowing the learners the freedom to choose their review times. After controlling for the length and frequency of study, we find that learners for whom a machine learning algorithm determines which questions to include in their study sessions remember the content over ~69% longer. We also find that the sequencing algorithm has an effect on users’ engagement. |
