Real outcomes
It's not the discipline.
It's the integration.
Cog sci students lose points for treating disciplines as silos. The integration across psychology, neuro, AI, linguistics, and philosophy is what your TA grades. AskSia threads those.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For philosophy of mind I dropped Dennett and Chalmers into AskSia. Got a Sia Note mapping the hard problem responses with citations. Cleanest seminar paper of the term.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The flashcards AskSia built for cog sci experiments tagged each by paradigm, finding, and theoretical implications. Spaced repetition made the cumulative final manageable.
