Abstract: A gap currently exists in the literature regarding how to most effectively harness the power of confusion in learning. In order to address this gap, the present study sought to explore which methods of confusion induction are most beneficial for deep learning. Results revealed that Breakdown Scenarios were the most effective confusion induction technique compared to a lecture based format. Additionally, significant interactions were discovered between Breakdown Scenarios and the individual difference measures: Attributional Complexity and Goal Orientation. Immediate applications for education are discussed.
