Error management training and symbolic rehearsal are two training techniques that have been shown to affect training transfer. Previous studies have looked at these two techniques in isolation, however the effects have never been examined together. The current study attempts to examine the effects on training transfer. Using a software training paradigm, error management training with an added symbolic rehearsal component was hypothesized to contribute to better adaptive transfer, declarative knowledge, and mental models than an error management training alone condition. Results indicated there was no significant difference between conditions. Exploratory analyses confirmed relationships found in past research. Discussion, implications, and limitations of the current study are included.
