“This is in line with Verspoor et al. (2012), whose findings suggest that learners at lower levels tend to mainly rely on the Present Simple tense, and a more balanced use of different tense/aspect occures only at higher proficiency levels.”

In the citing paper
“Holistic human scoring presents a rounded view of learners' language competence in that a human mind can weigh different strengths and weaknesses of a text simultaneously and has been considered very informative in L2 studies (Hou et al., 2016;Polio, 2001;Verspoor et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
