## Canonical source context

This self-guided pack uses eight invented museum terms so every fact has a stable answer and no prior expertise is needed. First test the terms before studying. Then retrieve each definition, check the supplied answer immediately, and answer a simple application question. A delayed T+3-day test is included as this pack’s declared interval; it is an example configuration, not a universal schedule. Text, audio, enlarged cards and external memory aids are valid when declared. The score measures retention and application of this small fictional codebook. It does not establish expertise, judgment, intelligence, clinical memory health or the ability to apply real museum rules. Never use remembered material from this pack for medication, legal, safety or other high-stakes decisions. Stop if tracking becomes distressing or compulsive, and route concerning memory or learning difficulty affecting daily function to an appropriate professional.

Target outcome: Define semantic memory without inheriting mythology or broader claims. Explain what the current evidence supports and what it does not establish. Use the declared measurement boundary and recognise misleading proxies. Complete only the separately governed capability practice inside its declared limits. Make a retention, transfer, maintenance, provider or stop decision without overclaiming.

### Authority and setup conditions

- Use only the bounded configuration. Use neutral educational material with a known answer key. Supports, alternate formats and smaller sets are valid.
- Stop if the frame becomes a study schedule, repeated recall loop, memory score or competence test.
- Do not use remembered facts to make medication, clinical, legal or other high-stakes decisions.

### Required or supplied materials

- Eight prompt cards from the fixture, with the invented term on the front and its exact definition plus application answer on the back.
- Baseline and delayed-test sheet with two boxes per card: definition response and application response.
- Feedback card printed: ‘Attempt first; check immediately; write the corrected answer once; do not copy it repeatedly.’
- Schedule card printed: ‘T0 baseline and one retrieval round; after another neutral activity, one mixed retrieval round; T+3 days, delayed test before restudy.’
- A timer only to mark the end of a comfortable short round, not to score speed; keyboard, audio, AAC, plain language and assistance may be declared.
- Boundary card: fictional facts only; no high-stakes use; factual recall is not judgment or expertise.

### Supplied fixture

Participant-facing fictional codebook prompts. Definitions and application answers remain in the staged key.

| Card | Invented term | Application prompt |
| --- | --- | --- |
| M1 | ARDO | A display has an ARDO. Is the object labelled original or replica? |
| M2 | BEMA | Which named tray should hold a paper sample? |
| M3 | CERIN | May a visitor handle an item carrying CERIN? |
| M4 | DOVA | Which named room fits a quiet-reading request? |
| M5 | ERIS | What does an ERIS let someone borrow until closing? |
| M6 | FARO | What photography condition does FARO permit? |
| M7 | GALEN | May a visitor touch an item with GALEN? |
| M8 | HIRA | Which named symbol points toward the lift? |

## 1. Label the cards M1–M8 and keep every answer back hidden

Label the cards M1–M8 and keep every answer back hidden. Record the presentation language, assistance and the declared delayed-test date before starting.

Why: “Label the cards M1–M8 and keep every answer back hidden” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Success check: A legible entry directly completes “Label the cards M1–M8 and keep every answer back hidden” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Label the cards M1–M8 and keep every answer back hidden. Record the presentation language, assistance and the declared delayed-test date before starting.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “A legible entry directly completes “Label the cards M1–M8 and keep every answer back hidden” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

## 2. Run the T0 baseline: for each term, attempt the definition and application…

Run the T0 baseline: for each term, attempt the definition and application question once. Mark responses without teaching or guessing repeatedly.

Why: “Run the T0 baseline: for each term, attempt the definition and application question once” isolates the named Semantic memory task while preserving its configuration, stopping rule and measurement boundary.

Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Run the T0 baseline: for each term, attempt the definition and application question once. Mark responses without teaching or guessing repeatedly.”

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Run the T0 baseline: for each term, attempt the definition and application question once. Mark responses without teaching or guessing repeatedly.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Run the T0 baseline: for each term, attempt the definition and application question once. Mark responses without teaching or guessing repeatedly.”” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

## 3. Study each answer once

Study each answer once. Then shuffle the eight terms, retrieve definition and application before turning each card over, and write one correction when needed.

Why: “Study each answer once” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Success check: A legible entry directly completes “Study each answer once” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Study each answer once. Then shuffle the eight terms, retrieve definition and application before turning each card over, and write one correction when needed.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “A legible entry directly completes “Study each answer once” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

## 4. Complete another unrelated neutral activity before one mixed retrieval round

Complete another unrelated neutral activity before one mixed retrieval round. Do not add cards, streaks or extra daily duration.

Why: “Complete another unrelated neutral activity before one mixed retrieval round” carries the authored Semantic memory method into a reviewable output without adding an unstated task, dose or claim.

Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Complete another unrelated neutral activity before one mixed retrieval round. Do not add cards, streaks or extra daily duration.”

Accessible alternative: Complete “Complete another unrelated neutral activity before one mixed retrieval round. Do not add cards, streaks or extra daily duration.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Complete another unrelated neutral activity before one mixed retrieval round. Do not add cards, streaks or extra daily duration.”” Use text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard navigation, shorter sessions, a support person or an equivalent non-practical record format as needed. Accessibility changes must not enlarge practical authority.

## 5. At T+3 days, test all eight terms in a new mixed order…

At T+3 days, test all eight terms in a new mixed order before any restudy. Declare any cue, aid or answer options used.

Why: “At T+3 days, test all eight terms in a new mixed order before any restudy” establishes the exact Semantic memory question or boundary that every later comparison must preserve.

Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “At T+3 days, test all eight terms in a new mixed order before any restudy. Declare any cue, aid or answer options used.”

Accessible alternative: Replace spoken or audio cues with visible text, captions or haptic timing while keeping the same sequence and success check. Use text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard navigation, shorter sessions, a support person or an equivalent non-practical record format as needed. Accessibility changes must not enlarge practical authority.

## 6. Score definition and application separately, compare with baseline, record burden, and keep…

Score definition and application separately, compare with baseline, record burden, and keep or retire only the facts that serve this exercise.

Why: “Score definition and application separately, compare with baseline, record burden, and keep or retire only the facts that serve this exercise” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Success check: The work shows the value requested by “Score definition and application separately, compare with baseline, record burden, and keep or retire only the facts that serve this exercise”, retains the supplied units or signs and leaves any unsupported value unknown.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Score definition and application separately, compare with baseline, record burden, and keep or retire only the facts that serve this exercise.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The work shows the value requested by “Score definition and application separately, compare with baseline, record burden, and keep or retire only the facts that serve this exercise”, retains the supplied units or signs and leaves any unsupported value unknown.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.
