Abstract

En 中文
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. Clarifying when deceptive overgeneralization occurs and how to address it can improve the precision of adaptive learning technologies.
