INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

A term used in two related senses. In cognitive psychology it names the case where a person possesses a strategy and can execute it when asked but does not spontaneously generate it when the relevant situation arises, so the failure lies in retrieval and cue detection rather than in competence. In manufacturing it denotes defects introduced by the process itself, as distinct from defects in incoming material or design, locating the dominant cause of quality inside the process. Both senses point at the same gap between capacity and actual use.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Trigger design: attach an if-then cue to a skill so the right situation summons it automatically. - Situation training: practice recognizing the context that calls for the strategy, not just executing the strategy. - Process focus: examine the process that produced a defect before blaming the input.

Anchor fast decisions

A strategy that is never cued produces no behavior, so outcomes depend on retrieval as much as on competence. If-then implementation intentions bind a specific situational cue to a specific response, which raises the odds that an available tool is actually produced at the moment it is needed.
