1. The engine’s intake manifold is selected
2. Nearby parts are highlighted with colors

- Explain a missed procedural condition and let the learner repeat the relevant step.

## How it works

Procedural practice reproduces a specified sequence of decisions and actions with feedback on missing conditions and errors.

## Variants

### Mechanic variants

<a id="t316-variants"></a>

- Demonstrations show goals and stage order. <a id="t316-v1"></a>
- Practice permits safely repeating a step. <a id="t316-v2"></a>
- Branches test actions under changed conditions. <a id="t316-v3"></a>
- Debriefs distinguish correct outcomes from faulty processes. <a id="t316-v4"></a>

## Design example

An equipment trainer changes one indicator and requires a different branch of its simulated procedure.

Prototype check: Review the scenario with a domain specialist; completing a game sequence alone does not establish professional competence.

## Context and limits

Learning tasks should assess the stated action while accessibility supports different motor and sensory channels. Each overview separates player actions, state changes and alternative rules. Examples are hypothetical design scenarios, not claims about a named game. A prototype check states an observable question for the next iteration. Existing detailed references remain separately linked from the direction map.
