This result supports previous studies which demonstrated that a significant positive relationship exists between perceived fit and confirmation of the expected consequences of technology use in learning environments (e.g., McGill & Klobas, 2009; Lin, & Wang, CH., 2012; Terzis et al., 2013).

Studies by Tang et al. (2014) and Chen et al. (2015), who examined the effect of confirmation on perceived usefulness in the context of weblog learning, offered a view comparable to the one being presented herein.
The confirmation of GPCR functionality in diatoms would indicate that these organisms are able to perceive and respond to their surrounding environment in a more complex manner.
