Investigates why AI-for-education shows inconsistent average effects, arguing that learning behavior explains background-related advantage: students from advantaged backgrounds engage with AI tools in ways that compound gains, while others do not. Prior ed-tech research shows average effects mask heterogeneity; this paper quantifies the behavioral mechanism.

Links Generative AI use to learning-gains, Personalized Learning, and Student Experience, with strong Equity implications: AI assistance may widen gaps unless designed to shift behavior. Connects to AI Assisted Learning Modes Eeg and the Over Reliance literature on differential benefit.
