Administração de erros em treinamentos: resultados teóricos e empíricos

Abstract

There are two strategies to deal with errors in training: Error prevention or error management. It is argued that error management concept can be used to improve the quality of training. It has been shown repeatedly that error training - that is using errors as an enhancer of learning - leads to better performance. Various mechanisms for the superiority of error training can be distinguished: (a) Better emotional processing, (b) more effective error handling strategies, (c) higher motivation, and (d) errors as instigators of exploration. Mechanism (a) has partial empirical and (b) has no empirical support. Mechanism (d) has been shown to exist and to account for a large part albeit not all of the superiority of the error training concept.
