Abstract
Project Title: Exploring How Encoding Modality Effects Memory Performance in Organic Chemistry
 Research within education, psychology, and cognitive science has established the foundational theories and perspectives on how individuals encode information into their working memory and long-term memory. Despite decades of research on the mechanisms underlying memory, we know little about how individuals encode and retrieve scientific models. We are even less confident on the impact and influence of domain-specific expertise when considering the different modes that individuals preferentially use to encode information. Using a dual-task interference experiment, we investigated whether one type of scientific model, molecular formulas, is encoded in a verbal modality. We also investigated the role of chemistry-specific expertise and its impacts on encoding molecular formulas (CH3OH) and analogous ‘non-formulas’ (HC3HO). This presentation will present our preliminary findings and implications for teaching and learning in chemistry.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
