HCD.10:6 - Bias-Annotation

Lenses: Gov, Arch, Onto/Epist, Prag, Did. Scope: selecting variation, timing, task mixing, retrieval, source, support, and challenge changes across bounded human practice episodes.

Recurring biasLikely driftRepair
desirable-difficulty bundleDelay, retrieval, interleaving, source removal, and harder tasks are applied together.Select each feature by a named target and preserve separate failure interpretations.
calendar-effect biasScheduled dates are treated as spacing effect, transfer, or retention.Name repeated episodes, intervening practice, conditions, and the separate inference Method.
spacing-retrieval conflationA later episode is assumed to require unaided recall.Specify retrieval, sources, tools, AI, and human help independently of timing.
interleave-everything biasRandom mixing replaces task-similarity and Method-selection grounds.Interleave only when discrimination among alternatives is part of the target.
harder-is-better biasDifficulty is increased despite unstable basic performance or invalid access.Stabilize, diagnose the limiting condition, and progress one warranted feature.
support-removal biasTools or references belonging to later Work are withdrawn as proof of progress.Change support only for a stated human contribution or evidence use.
failure-as-loss biasAn unsuccessful changed-condition attempt is called lost capability.Differentiate applicability, access, expression, adaptation, enactment, and support.
scheduled-proof biasA later task is reported as transfer or retention by date alone.Preserve task, support, delay, intervening use, and route interpretation to HCD.12/HCD.13.
