LLM-Based Educational Simulation: Evaluating Temporal Student Persona Stability Across ADHD Profiles

Jana Gonnermann-M\"uller, Jennifer Haase, Nicolas Leins, Sebastian Pokutta, Thomas Kosch

LLM-generated ADHD student personas hold self-reported traits steady over time, but their observed behaviors drift in unscripted conversations unless interactions use explicit scripted task prompts.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Self-reported characteristics remain stable for high intensities, constituting a necessary prerequisite for valid behavioral simulation. Observer-rated behavioral expression reveals selective instability: within-conversation drift occurs in unscripted dialog for high and moderate ADHD personas. Scripted interactions with explicit task prompts eliminate this drift entirely.

C2weakest assumption

That observer ratings of behavioral expressions accurately and unbiasedly capture persona alignment without influence from rater expectations or LLM generation artifacts.

C3one line summary

LLM-simulated ADHD student personas show stable self-reported traits but behavioral drift in unscripted interactions that explicit task prompts fully eliminate.
