Title
An experimental investigation into the role of simulation models in generating insights.
Abstract
•We perform an experiment exploring the role of simulation in generating insights.•Students work on a task using a model's animation or statistical outputs, or no model.•Using statistical results generates insights more frequently than not using a model.•Using statistical outcomes generates insights more rapidly than using animation.•False insights emerge less frequently using statistical results than using animation.
