SummaryAnalyzed 128,569 naturalistic human-LLM conversations to test whether informal learning behaviors emerge in everyday AI use. Cognitive engagement appeared in 31.9% of user turns and constructive engagement in 4.9%. Scaffolded assistant support correlated with richer learning participation, varying by user framing and task context.
Why it mattersLarge-scale empirical study quantifies learning behaviors in LLM use and ties them to specific support conditions, giving teams a grounded basis for designing interactions that preserve reasoning rather than optimize only for output.
