MDPE.Application:5.4.2 - Use a small joint attempt to find the limiting relation

Try the simplest passage that still contains the wanted relation. Observe where continuation first becomes unavailable. Ask each participant what they detected and intended; an observer’s view of foot placement cannot determine what the partner felt. Then change the condition that could distinguish the next repair.

Observation in the attemptA discriminating next attemptWhat the result can change
The intended action cannot be produced even with an understood cue and time to prepareIsolate its failed portion: entering support, preparing the moving part or completing the transfer. Try a shorter path or more preparation time while retaining the wanted effect.Develop or replace the unavailable bodily means before requiring that same action in a harder phrase.
Each participant can perform the movement, but the partner starts the next action at the wrong eventKeep the passage and vary the disputed signal: make the preparation distinguishable from the completed transfer, or expose the cue through an agreed available channel. Ask what was detected.Repair signal production, access or interpretation; extra repetition of the figure alone may preserve the ambiguity.
Two passages work separately but the join failsStop the first at its actual exit state and compare it with what the second needs to begin. Then try a connecting action that supplies the missing condition.Change the exit, entry or connecting action, rather than assuming that knowing both passages supplies the transition.
The movement works only while its details occupy attention, and consequential partner or musical changes are missedRepeat a smaller viable passage with one relevant change to notice and answer.Develop the combined task or keep suitable support; isolated movement success has not yet supplied responsive performance.

These observations locate candidate explanations. A failure with an unfamiliar partner can concern an unfamiliar convention, fatigue or unavailable support as well as a missing capability. Compare the conditions that would change the repair.
