Feedback that requires low-level thinking, such as corrections and exact edits marked on student essays by teachers, resulted in subsequent compliance by the students-that is, students made the changes without questioning them, even if it meant sacrificing the quality of work in other ways.
“The feedback that requires low-level thinking, such as corrections and exact edits marked on student essays by teachers, resulted in subsequent compliance by the students—that is, students made the changes without questioning them, even if it meant sacrificing the quality of work in other ways (Dohrer, 1991).”

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.
