  "title": "Use captions, then check what your ears understood",
  "summary": "The subtitles may be doing more of the listening than you are.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Same-language captions can help you notice word forms. That is a different outcome from understanding a new speaker without text. Use captions as support, then make the listening outcome visible; this sequence is an editorial exercise, not a proven fading schedule.",
  "limits": [
    "Do not remove captions needed for accessibility. Better word recognition does not by itself prove better comprehension."

    {
      "claim": "In the caption study, some vocabulary recognition outcomes improved, while comprehension and meaning recall did not.",

      "role": "supports",
      "note": "The proposed audio-only check is editorial; the study did not validate a caption-fading routine.",

  "use_when": [
    "A subtitled video feels easy, but the audio alone remains unclear."
  ],
  "avoid_when": [
    "Do not remove captions needed for accessibility. Better word recognition does not by itself prove better comprehension."
  ],
  "example": "A tutorial sounds familiar until the captions disappear. You discover that you recognised technical words visually but missed the speaker’s qualification.",
  "check": "Can you state the qualification and next action from new audio, rather than repeat remembered subtitles?",
  "steps": [
    "Listen to a short clip and note the message you caught.",
    "Use accurate captions to locate two missed sound-to-word connections.",
    "Replay without text, then try a different short clip on the same topic."
