Analogical encoding Described in the organizational sciences literature as a means of recalibrating heuristics by helping novices/trainees to derive memorable, generalizable decision principles for themselves through structured case comparison. | Repetition and substitution Practice of the behavior to increase habit and skill. Tasks progress in difficulty over time (grading of tasks). | Triage | |
Trainee asked to triage 10 cases over 90 s. â–ª 5 of the cases conform to one decision principle (e.g., penetrating injury). â–ª Each level demonstrates a different decision principle â–ª Trainee can opt to triage another set of 10 cases after reviewing the case comparison step | Coach selects the levels seen by the trainee, curating the user experience based on their experience and knowledge. | ||
Shaping knowledge Advice provided on how to perform the behavior. Information provided about antecedents that reliably predict performance of the behavior | Case comparison | ||
Trainee asked to compare 2 cases from set of 10 seen during the triage step and asked to identify relevant contextual cues by focusing on similarities and differences between the cases. | Coach guides the identification of relevant contextual cues by using standardized question prompts, and guiding attention to important information. | ||
Feedback and monitoring Monitor and provide information or evaluative feedback on performance of behavior or outcome. | Feedback | ||
In-game character provides standardized feedback based on trainee performance during the case comparison step. | Coach provides personalized feedback based on player performance during triage step and during the case comparison step. | ||
Goal setting Set or agree on a goal defined in terms of the behavior to be achieved | Goals | ||
N/A | Coach elicits goals for training session and links to information being covered. | ||
Comparison of behavior Provide an observable sample of the behavior. | Exemplar | ||
N/A | Coach triages set of 10 cases to demonstrate how use of appropriate contextual cues can facilitate decision making. |
