Question 3

What is error-management training and is it more effective than error-avoidant training? When is it more or less likely to be more effective?

Accepted Answer

Error-management training (EMT) involves explicitly encouraging trainees to make errors during training and to learn from them. EMT results in more positive training outcomes than training that does not encourage errors or error-avoidance training. However, EMT is especially effective and more effective than error-avoidant training in the following situations: EMT is effective for post-training performance but not performance during training; EMT is more effective for the performance of tasks that require adaptive expertise or adaptive tasks (tasks that differ from those worked on during training and require different solutions) than for analogical tasks; EMT is most effective when it was accompanied by error-management instructions.
