• WorldTree: A Corpus of Explanation Graphs for Elementary Science Questions supporting Multi-hop Inference (2018, background): “…literature suggests that explanations (when tutoring others) and self-explanations (when engaged in self-directed learning) are an important aspect of learning, helping humans better generalize the knowledge they have learned (Roscoe and Chi, 2007; Legare, 2014; Rittle-Johnson and Loehr, 2016).”
• Explanations in the wild. (2021, unknown): “To decide which features to measure, we begin with the following description of one kind of explanation common in everyday life: ‘an attempt to understand a causal relation by identifying relevant functional or mechanistic information’ (Legare, 2014).”
