  "title": "Practice recovering from mistakes where mistakes are safe",
  "summary": "A flawless rehearsal can leave you unprepared for an ordinary mistake.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Use a bounded practice environment where exploration and recoverable errors are permitted. Ask the learner to notice the error, explain it and regain a workable state. Research on error-management training supports transfer in studied settings, with important variation; it does not justify preventable mistakes in live work.",
  "limits": [
    "Do not withhold necessary instruction or use clinical, financial or production consequences as training material. Match difficulty and support to the learner's current competence."

    {
      "claim": "The error-management training synthesis found benefits for learning and transfer, with substantial variation and stronger effects on novel transfer tasks than on within-training performance.",
      "source_id": "RS-BBF8FB144386A55F",
      "role": "supports",
      "note": "The findings concern designed training conditions, not making avoidable errors in live work or withholding needed instruction.",

  ],
  "use_when": [
    "A learner can copy the correct procedure but becomes stuck when something unexpected happens."
  ],
  "avoid_when": [
    "Do not withhold necessary instruction or use clinical, financial or production consequences as training material. Match difficulty and support to the learner's current competence."
  ],
  "example": "In a sandbox, a learner handles an intentionally incomplete import, identifies the rejected records and completes a controlled correction without duplicating accepted records.",
  "check": "The learner recognizes and handles a different recoverable failure without relying on the original example's surface details.",
  "steps": [
    "Provide prerequisites, safety limits and a reliable reset before exploration.",
    "Debrief what signaled the error, which assumption failed and how recovery was checked.",
    "Test a new variation rather than repeating only the memorized recovery sequence."
