In Situ Analysis of Electrodermal Activity from Students Learning from Large Language Models Versus Curated Texts.
Article in Brain sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundthis paper reports an investigation into the cognitive and emotional states of adolescents while learning from an LLM. It seeks to address a relative dearth in empirical evidence which might otherwise facilitate informed decisions being made by curriculum designers, school leaders and policy makers regarding the use of Generative AI, amidst the wider discourse about the effectiveness of AI in teaching and learning.
methodsin this paper, we analyze electrodermal activity (EDA) in the context of students' scholastic engagement using LLMs in comparison to curated texts. In our 27-min-long experiment, we recorded the EDA of participants learning from both learning methods, for 8 min each. A quiz was also conducted to assess the effectiveness of the learning method. We collected 23 samples of EDA from the experiment, and 42 samples of quiz results.
resultswe have found that learning with an LLM results in greater Skin Conductance Response (
conclusionsthis exploratory and preliminary study revealed empirical insights between LLM usage and learning effectiveness in situ via physiological indicators, in contrast to prior work that has adopted
