What the debrief covers
- Recall order
- Update-rule errors
- Suggested chunking strategy
How to approach it
- 1Break each item into chunks, such as a letter group and a number group, rather than holding single characters.
- 2Repeat each chunk silently in the same rhythm; a consistent rhythm makes recall more reliable.
- 3Take in the whole item before you answer, then recall the chunks in order.
Common mistakes
- Swapping two digits in the middle of a number group.
- Letting a new item overwrite the last one; rehearse briefly before the next arrives.
