Sumario:The language used in clinical teaching plays a central role in how students and residents constructtheir learning, their motivation, and their relationship with error. Based on training experiences inEmergency Medicine, this study reflects on the repeated use of negation expressed as a categorical"no" as a common corrective mechanism in clinical teaching settings, and on how this form ofinteraction can affect the learner's psychological safety, willingness to participate, and cognitiveprocesses. Drawing on insights from medical education, the neuroscience of learning, andemotional intelligence, the study analyzes the emotional, ethical, and pedagogical implications ofthis type of language, as well as the cultural and hierarchical factors that contribute to itspersistence. Finally, it proposes the need to move toward more guiding and reflective forms offeedback, capable of maintaining academic rigor without resorting to fear, and promoting saferlearning environments that are more conducive to critical thinking and innovation.
