This reminds me of elements of [[psychological safety in situ simulation.pdf]], [[On the psychology of simulation]]. The authors propose that these exist on a slider. That fidelity and deception must be identified and managed along with the prebrief and debrief, at times opening the hood to expose the educators intent to increase the [[🐓 Idea Farm/9 🗄 Backlog/psychological safety]] of the learners. ### What would the opposite argument be? Anytime you are intentionally deceiving your learners you are eroding their trust. You must approach this with great caution and do everything you can to align yourself with them in this effort. ## Fiction Contract A form of consent between the learner and the educator that the project is being performed with positive intent. ## Forms of fidelity to be manipulated if needed ### Environmental ### Patient ### Semantic - the clinical reality - the case evolution ### The phenomenology - the experience of the learners - a form of psychological fidelity ![[Deception in simulation image.jpg]] ## Sources: Alinier, G., & Oriot, D.
