Principlev1
Maximize trigger detectability by using cues that register
Maximize trigger detectability by using cues that register through perception rather than requiring memory retrieval or introspection.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Exponential Information Decay (unrehearsed information decays), Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable (memory under load is unreliable), Behavior requires an initiating signal to occur at a (behavior requires initiating signal), and Event-based prospective memory is easier and more reliable (event-based memory is easier than time-based). This prescribes favoring perceptual channels over memory-dependent ones, following from axioms about memory limitations.
