Les apprentissages scolaires ne se réalisent pas de manière naturelle via la maturation du système cognitif et la confrontation à l'environnement; ils nécessitent de décomposer et décontextualiser plusieurs apprentissages dans le cadre d'un enseignement systématique et structuré.
“En effet, ceux-ci ne se réalisent pas de manière naturelle via la maturation du système cognitif et la confrontation à l'environnement. Ils nécessitent plutôt de décomposer et de décontextualiser plusieurs apprentissages dans le cadre d'un enseignement systématique et structuré (Geary, 2002).”

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.
