Recorded claims

Each claim states what the inspected source says, at the recorded location—bounded by its scope and graded by its confidence. Nothing here is a synthesis across works.

In a laboratory experiment that randomized automated players and new hires into laboratory firms coordinating on a Nintendo Switch game, replacing a human with an automated agent reduced team performance, increased coordination failures, and lowered team trust and individual effort; the abstract says the effects were especially large in the short term and in pretested low- and medium-skill teams.

confidence: moderate ssrn-abstract-page apw-e1-ssrn-backfill

Scope: Universe: laboratory firms and their team members; unit: team/player performance and coordination; period and participant denominator: not displayed; no numerical effect is asserted.

Structured relationships

In-corpus citations

Only source-supplied cites relationships whose two endpoints are admitted are shown. Invocation evidence remains a separate relationship.

Boundaries

Limitations & independence

Recorded at coding time, carried with the work forever. A claim without its limits is not evidence.

Recorded limitations

  • Abstract-level evidence only; full text was not inspected.
  • The abstract does not display participant, team, or arm counts, study period, effect sizes, or uncertainty; a videogame laboratory task limits generalization.
  • The retained author page displays a 2024-09-23 revision date while the retained abstract page displays 2023-04-13; the conflict is preserved.
