Comparison of the capture of information specifically requested in Study 2. This bar chart shows the percentage of students that recorded information that we specifically requested in the Titles Template compared to the other two conditions: Aims, Reaction Schemes, Relative Molecular Masses, and Results information. The results are similar to Study 1: all the information types are more likely to be recorded in the Titles Template condition where they are cued. In the Profile Template, only Aims and Results are specifically cued and can be seen to be recorded. It can be seen that using ‘What reactions were involved in the experiment?’ did not result in the capture of reaction scheme or RMMs in the Profile Template condition
