A problem shared is learning doubled: Deliberative processing in dyads improves learning in complex dynamic decision-making tasks

Highlights:

• We address the issue of underutilisation of learning opportunities in simulations.

• 71 professionals took part in an experiment using a management simulation.

• Peer interactions were structured to encourage hypothesis-testing strategies.

• Simple manipulation of how learners interact with the simulation affected learning.

• Evidence for proximal, distal and deliberation learning effects is presented.
