Mechanisms¶
- Refresher Training Protocol
- Its sharpest failure mode is stale-knowledge reinforcement — diligently drilling a procedure that has since changed, which produces confident recall of the wrong thing and invites negative transfer, where the well-practiced old response fires in place of the new one.
This sourceDescribes negative transfer as interference in which a previously learned cognitive procedure is inappropriately applied to a changed but overlapping task.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not confirmed. The DOI recorded for this work did not resolve when it was last checked, so it is shown above but not linked. The citation may still be sound; the recorded identifier is not. Flagged for repair.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
