And, just because I'm curious, would the the "avoiding" being trained be to first reduce AoA and assure that the ball is centered? Or to add power to an already bad situation?
Unstall the wings first by reducing the AoA.

Going slightly off topic, the question arises as to what a student should be exposed to during training for CPL(+IR) issue.
Prior to JAR (1/7/1999) & then EASA, the UK CAP509 training included spinning & at BAeFC, Prestwick
(+ Oxford ~ OATS) aerobatics(dual) were part of the course.
Full exposure at PIK to what the delightful BRAVO AS202 (180hp VP prop) had to offer; a great confidence builder exploring ‘extreme attitudes’.
With JAR that was replaced by stall/spin awareness training, recovering no later than during the incipient stage.
Eventually, EASA introduced mandatory upset training, recognising the shortcomings of ‘awareness training’.

This tragic ATR accident, prima facie, was caused by getting too slow, and not recognising it.
Lack of situational awareness & high workload causing a distraction to the ‘aviating’ aspect of airmanship.
