Reflection-in-action
concurrent reflection that happens during an experience when something surprises you or disrupts your expectations, revealing values that operate automatically
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'reflection-in-action' by identifying its genus (form of reflection) and differentia (concurrent during experience, triggered by surprise, reveals automatic values). It clearly distinguishes this from reflection-on-action and other forms of reflection by specifying its temporal nature and triggering mechanism.
