I would say, if anything, FOLLOW YOUR OPERATIONS MANUAL guidance, or failing that, manufacturers recommendations. Not all aeroplane types are the same, mine for instance requires me to SLOW DOWN in severe turbulence, not 'if anything keep speed up'.

Be careful taking generalised info to use operationally. This can be very dangerous. Ask your trainers IN YOUR COMPANY if you can't find the answer having looked in your manuals.

Safe flying.
