One thing that I have trouble with is remembering that an idea applies.
If you’ve ever learned a bunch of integration techniques (or methods of solving differential equations) you might remember that the hard part of doing an integral analytically isn’t understanding the technique, its realizing which technique to use.
It’s one thing to know to watch out for the fundamental attribution error if you know that you’re looking for someone committing the fundamental attribution error, but its entirely different to realize when you should be applying it in your every day life.
I almost suggested a way to fix that, but then I remembered to hold off on proposing solutions.
Could you identify environmental cues (a word in conversation, a feeling, some other features of a given situation) that you think identify the moment when a technique should be used?
If you could, there might be a way to associate the cue to the technique (a sort of “trigger”).
How could this association be internalized? SRS cards, decision trees, an if-then table… I think anything, so long as it were reviewed regularly.

Any other advice/thoughts?
