The results of the two-way MANOVA showed that pre-training contributed to the management of cognitive load. Cognitive load scores varied with survey order: extraneous and intrinsic load scores were higher on the ECL-first order, contrary to previous findings. However, pre-training and survey order had no significant effect on the achievement test. The structural validity of the cognitive load scale was consistent across survey types.

When “free” was stated, both age groups recalled “free” more often than it was stated.

However, participants reported higher engagement when they watched a video that aligned with their preference for instructor visibility. For example, participants who favored videos with the instructor visible reported greater engagement with such videos compared to those without the instructor, and vice versa.

Using a common face matching test, I found that the fusion of individual responses with those provided by ChatGPT increased performance in comparison with both individuals working alone and simulated participant pairs.
