Evidence and limits
Finding: AI assistance produced some complementary performance, but explanations did not increase it. Explanations increased acceptance of recommendations whether they were right or wrong.
Impact: Reject explanation presence as a proxy for collaboration quality. Strengthen separate measurement of human-only, AI-only, and team outcomes.
Boundary: The tasks were bounded classification and reasoning tasks. Next: which outcome set captures quality, effort, reversibility, and accountability in open-ended work?
Flags: structured datasets; explanation-specific intervention
Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement
What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
