The most effective immediate countermeasure is ‘Stop, Think, Act, Review’—STAR—and then communication. But since you’re asking for a model-specific answer: in the Dirty Dozen, the antidote to lack of assertiveness (which I just showed by not calling my flap error) is to use a ‘challenge-response’ process, even with yourself. So I’ll say out loud: ‘Flaps 15 set, confirm.’ Then I’ll look. That breaks the error chain.” You’re ready

Derek threw another question over the roar of the simulated single engine. “You lose an engine just after V1. The autothrottle disconnects. Which of the following is correct regarding your go-around decision?”
