Our Standards

LearnLens Studio is committed to providing accurate, evidence-based information about learning science and educational best practices. All content published on our platform adheres to rigorous editorial standards.

Content Sourcing & Verification

Learning Science Claims

All claims about cognitive science, learning theory, and educational psychology are:

• Backed by peer-reviewed research published in reputable academic journals
• Cited with full references including authors, publication year, journal name, and DOI when available
• Reviewed for accuracy and consistency with current scientific consensus
• Updated when new research emerges that refines or contradicts earlier findings

YouTube Content Curation

Educational videos curated by our AI are selected based on:

• Teaching Clarity - Educator's ability to explain concepts clearly and accurately
• Content Quality - Factual accuracy and depth of explanation
• Pedagogical Soundness - Appropriate sequencing and scaffolding of concepts
• Engagement Metrics - Learner engagement as a secondary factor (not primary)

We do not promote or recommend content based solely on view counts, subscriber numbers, or sponsorship relationships. Our AI evaluates videos primarily on educational merit.

Citation Standards

Our blog posts and documentation pages include:

• Full citations for all research claims
• Direct links to original sources (DOI links for academic papers)
• Author names, publication dates, and journal/book information
• Last updated dates to indicate when content was reviewed

Key Research Foundations

Our platform is built on well-established theories and findings from:

• Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller, 1988, 1994, 2011) - Optimizing information presentation
• Testing Effect (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006; Dunlosky et al., 2013) - Active recall improves retention
• Spacing Effect (Ebbinghaus, 1885; Cepeda et al., 2006) - Distributed practice enhances learning
• Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky, 1978) - Optimal challenge level
• Multimedia Learning (Mayer, 2001, 2009) - Effective use of visual and verbal information
• Mastery Learning (Bloom, 1984) - Ensuring foundational knowledge before progression
