Beware of metacognitive laziness: Effects of generative artificial intelligence on learning motivation, processes, and performance
Abstract With the continuous development of technological and educational innovation, learners nowadays can obtain a variety of supports from agents such as teachers, peers, education technologies, and recently, generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. In particular, there has been a surge of academic interest in human‐AI collaboration and hybrid intelligence in learning. The concept of hybrid intelligence is still at a nascent stage, and how learners can benefit from a symbiotic relationship with var…
Learners supported by ChatGPT showed higher short-term essay score improvement compared to other support conditions.
Learners using ChatGPT may develop dependence on the tool and exhibit metacognitive laziness that hinders self-regulation and deep engagement.
Findings come from a single lab-based writing task with 117 university students, limiting generalizability to other tasks, contexts, and populations.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0548 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
