- Assertion
- Using 3.2 million ALEKS learning interactions, the authors found that college students' time on AI-susceptible math problems fell 26.9% over 11 quarters after ChatGPT's release, the divergence vanished under proctoring, and proctored retention showed a 25% cumulative decline in odds of a correct response; they describe this as a population-level indicator of cognitive surrender.

Learning time on AI-susceptible problems declines 2.8% per quarter among college students after ChatGPT's release, cumulating to 26.9% over eleven quarters [...] Among college students, the post-ChatGPT divergence vanishes entirely under proctoring [...] Logistic fixed-effects models on randomly assigned proctored retention items yield a 25% cumulative decline in odds of correct response [...] the population-level indicator of cognitive surrender
