Grounding
Helps: when an expository text has to be understood, not skimmed: reading on paper gives slightly better comprehension than reading on screen, a small effect, largest for informational text
Backfires: when the job is hunting for typos and slips, which the one error-detection study found easier on screen, or when the page is read without actively checking each point, which lets an AI draft's errors through
- BReading on paper yields better comprehension than reading the same text on a screen, especially for expository text read under time limits.Clinton (2019), Delgado et al. (2018), Ackerman & Goldsmith (2011), Calvo-Ferrer (2022)
- CPeople reviewing automated or AI output accept its errors at elevated rates, both acting on wrong outputs (commission) and missing unflagged problems (omission). Interventions that force active evaluation reduce this overreliance.Parasuraman & Manzey (2010), Lyell & Coiera (2016), Goddard, Roudsari & Wyatt (2012), Buçinca, Malaya & Gajos (2021), Mosier et al. (1998)
