Abstract
Science learning is challenging because it requires comprehending complex diagrams. In math, research has found that explaining incorrect worked examples can support learning. This study explored the effectiveness of explaining errors in conceptual diagrams for supporting text comprehension. Results showed that explaining errors supported comprehension compared to a control condition.
