作者:

Highlights:

• We investigated learners' reactions to virtual competition and real competition.

• Real competition was not always advantageous to learners.

• Learners with virtual competition demonstrated good performance.

• Lag Sequential Analysis was applied to analyze learning behavior.

• Learners behave differently in virtual competition and real competition.
