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 bias | Likely drift | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| desirable-difficulty bundle | Delay, retrieval, interleaving, source removal, and harder tasks are applied together. | Select each feature by a named target and preserve separate failure interpretations. |
| calendar-effect bias | Scheduled dates are treated as spacing effect, transfer, or retention. | Name repeated episodes, intervening practice, conditions, and the separate inference Method. |
| spacing-retrieval conflation | A later episode is assumed to require unaided recall. | Specify retrieval, sources, tools, AI, and human help independently of timing. |
| interleave-everything bias | Random mixing replaces task-similarity and Method-selection grounds. | Interleave only when discrimination among alternatives is part of the target. |
| harder-is-better bias | Difficulty is increased despite unstable basic performance or invalid access. | Stabilize, diagnose the limiting condition, and progress one warranted feature. |
| support-removal bias | Tools or references belonging to later Work are withdrawn as proof of progress.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 bias | An unsuccessful changed-condition attempt is called lost capability. | Differentiate applicability, access, expression, adaptation, enactment, and support. |
| scheduled-proof bias | A 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. |
