Processing Technique: Frontload Your Debrief

In its simplest form, Frontloading refers to giving an example before the experience rather than afterwards. By giving the participants and example of the type of answer you are expecting, it makes the debriefing process much easier. People learn by example, so if they hear a good example they will most likely follow your lead. Frontloading gives participants a sense of the task purpose, expectations for behavior and motivation for coming up with their answer.
