A longitudinal effect in which regular AI interaction is associated with improvement in a user's ability to recognize patterns in data, texts, or arguments, such that sustained use coincides with gains in the person's own analytic pattern detection.
TREND. Tracked over repeated measurements as the change in pattern-recognition performance: administer a standardized pattern-detection task at multiple timepoints over an AI-use period and track the change in accuracy/speed across the window; the trend (improvement trajectory) is the referent, not a single in-session event.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Repeated standardized assessment: a validated pattern/inductive-reasoning instrument (e.g., matrix-reasoning or series-completion items) administered at baseline and follow-ups; track accuracy and response time over time; analyze the trajectory (e.g., slope) ideally against a comparison condition to support the association rather than infer causation.
