Title: "Slip & Capture Errors"
Date: January, 2026
What is the "Illusion of Learning"? How does understanding it mean a Fundamental Shift in how we design and deliver training? Concepts presented include: Performance vs Learning; 2 measures learning has occurred - Retention & Transfer; Why is Transfer the only measure police should be concerned with? Closed vs Open Environments; Why context is so vitally important. Decision-making & Skills need to be trained at the same time.
Quadrants of Attention are covered as a model to train officers to have an awareness of their attention, what it is directed toward and how to filter a situation to focus on "Task-Relevant Information".
The concept of Top-Down Attentional control is presented as the foundation of expert performance and trainers are presented with actionable tools like "attentional Audits" and other cues to develop in their people to increase performance.
The concept of adding 'Pressure' to individuals in training is discussed and presented is the concept that the only reason to add pressure is to practice the two tools to overcome it (Attentional Control or re-direction to Task-Relevant Info and Breathing).
