Psychology HL practice: Synthesize technology-extension sources for a Paper 3 claim

Psychology HL Paper 3 source booklet: The HL extension is technology within learning and cognition. Source A graph reports risk explanation score for static map task (38) and interactive simulation (55) from 148 participants using matched written tasks after two digital lesson formats. Source B reports the qualitative theme "students used cause-and-effect language when the simulation made consequences visible" from 11 participants using screen-recorded think-aloud comments. Source C says teacher coding shows more evidence links in simulation responses. The claim is: "interactive technology improves explanation quality." Paper 3 Question 4 asks students to interpret at least three sources and judge how far the stated claim is valid. Select the HL extension focus, source issue, data conclusion, and synthesis limit. Then answer this in your own words: what should the student write next to make this Psychology HL Paper 3 response stronger for the exact sources? AI will analyse your source interpretation, data reasoning, extension knowledge, research-method judgement, synthesis, and expression.
