“These competencies correspond to Piaget's (1952) concrete operational stage and Kohlberg's (1984) conventional level of moral reasoning.”
From A Competency Framework for AI Literacy: Variations by Different Learner Groups and an Implied Learning Pathway (2025) · cites this paper as Piaget (1952)
In the citing paper
“The integration of GenAI into the Epidemiology and Principles of Research unit is grounded in constructivist learning theory, which suggests that learners actively construct knowledge through experience, reflection, and interaction with their environment (26, 27).”
From Integrating Generative AI into public health education: a mixed methods evaluation of student experiences (2026) · cites this paper as [27]
In the citing paper
“The close association between the constructs is consistent with theory and research indicating that executive functions are important building blocks for the development of children’s thinking (Zelazo, Muller, Frye, & Marcovitch, 2003) and key contributors to the development of intelligence (Piaget, 1952).”
From Salivary cortisol mediates effects of poverty and parenting on executive functions in early childhood (2011) · cites this paper as Piaget, 1952
In the citing paper
“Cognitive learning theories focus learning in the mental and psychological processes of the mind, not on behaviour.They are concerned with perception and the processing of information (Piaget 1952;Bruner 1966;Ausubel 1968;Gagne et al. 1992).”
From Adult learning theories: Implications for learning and teaching in medical education: AMEE Guide No. 83 (2013) · cites this paper as Piaget 1952
In the citing paper
“Experiential learning has influenced adult education by making educators responsible for creating, facilitating access to and organising experiences in order to facilitate learning; both Bruner's (1966) discovery learning and Piaget's (1952) theory of cognitive development support this approach.”

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.
