Abstract
This study aimed to investigates the effects of chatbot usage on working memory in students who do their assignments with chatbots. The research employed a Single-Subject AB design involving three participants, with each phase consisting of four measurements. Remarkably, the study revealed diverse outcomes: one participant exhibited no significant change in working memory, another showed a decrease, and the third experienced a gradual increase. These varied results suggest that chatbots can have differential impacts on working memory, potentially explained by cognitive load theory. This theory emphasizes the importance of optimizing technology use in learning environments to support working memory functions. The study's findings indicate that chatbots, as an educational tool, can have complex and varying effects on students' cognitive abilities, particularly in terms of working memory.

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
