Meta-analysis of 35 papers concludes "when learners perceive higher levels of mental effort, they exhibit lower learning (confidence) judgments, which relates to lower actual learning outcomes": bit.ly/3UYxp0f. Not necessarily a causal relationship, but interesting.

Teacher needs to know the answer… not sure about this - only if they can shut up and not tell the kids! #MANSW
