How AI-Assisted Decision-Making Paradigms and Explainability Shape Human-AI Collaboration
The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational decision-making raises a critical question: how to design AI systems that can effectively support teachers while maintaining an appropriate level of trust. Addressing this question requires not only continuous improvements in the technical capabilities of AI systems but also an examination from a human-AI interaction perspective of how different system designs influence users' cognitive performance and affective responses, thereby providing guidance for system optimization and design.

AI Decision-Making Paradigms Overview
Understanding the two primary AI-assisted decision-making paradigms: Concurrent, where AI suggestions inform initial judgments, and Sequential, where AI input is used for review and refinement.

| Notes: The explanatory interface significantly reduces decision errors under the concurrent paradigm, but not the sequential. Without explainability, the sequential paradigm performs better. | ||
Concurrent Paradigm's Emotional Trust Boost
While sequential paradigms often perform better in immediate tasks without explanations, the concurrent paradigm proves more effective in fostering users' emotional trust over time, leading to significantly higher learned emotional trust (p=0.041). This highlights its potential for long-term human-AI relationships.
Impact: The Concurrent Paradigm significantly increased learned emotional trust (Estimate = -2.164, p < 0.001) more than the Sequential Paradigm (Estimate = -0.983, p < 0.01).
Why: This suggests that real-time exposure to AI suggestions may facilitate emotional acceptance and build comfort with the system more effectively, even if initial task performance isn't always superior.
Recommendation: For building sustained human-AI trust, especially emotional acceptance, prioritize concurrent interaction paradigms.

Explainability Effect on Trust
Explainability significantly improves immediate task performance, particularly in concurrent decision-making (p=0.003), but this benefit is context-dependent and does not transfer to independent tasks. Paradoxically, the explanatory interface does not significantly impact situational trust and exerts a *negative effect* on overall learned trust, suppressing the natural development of both cognitive and emotional trust compared to non-explainable conditions (Learned trust: p=0.011, Cognitive trust: p=0.009, Emotional trust: p=0.043).
| Trust Dimension | Explainable Group | Non-Explainable Group |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Learned Trust |
|
|
| Learned Cognitive Trust |
|
|
| Learned Emotional Trust |
|
|
| Notes: The non-explainable group consistently showed significantly higher learned trust (cognitive and emotional) than the explainable group in the post-test phase. | ||

Performance Gain Transfer
The positive effects of the explanatory interface on task performance are limited to immediate, AI-assisted tasks. These benefits do not translate into sustained improvements or transfer to subsequent independent tasks performed without AI support. Explainability acts as immediate cognitive support, not a foundation for stable knowledge transfer.
Negative
Long-term Trust Impact
Explainability has no significant immediate impact on situational trust. However, over repeated interactions, it exhibits a delayed and *negative* effect on learned trust, suppressing its natural growth. This may be due to increased cognitive processing or the revelation of system limitations, undermining trust accumulation.
Understanding Trust Formation Mechanisms
The study reveals that individuals may prioritize outcome feedback and interaction experience over explicit explanations in forming rapid intuitive judgments. This suggests that while explanations provide transparency, they might also introduce cognitive load or expose system limitations, slowing down or even hindering trust accumulation compared to relying solely on performance cues.
Impact: Reliance on outcome feedback and interaction experience more readily forms intuitive judgments and trust than exposure to rich explanatory interfaces.
Why: Explanations may add cognitive load or reveal system limitations, hindering the rapid accumulation of subjective trust over time.
Recommendation: Balance transparency with cognitive load; consider that users might build trust through experience rather than detailed explanations, especially in early interaction phases.
