KAY LAURENCE CONFERENCE: The Significant Click
We can add value to our click through attention to what happens before the behaviour and the reinforcer to compliment that behaviour. A 1% difference may not seem very relevant or important but has a 100% impact on the student and in the result. We will develop the true meaning of the click. Everything is in the detail: small changes produce large differences.
This detailed attention will ensure the click becomes relevant, salient and very significant in our efforts to lead the learner to success.
KAREN PRYOR CONFERENCE: The Wonderful World of Clicker Training
I would talk about some of the scientific discoveries that have come out of clicker training. I would talk and show videos about all the amazing things people are doing with clicker training, including with zoo animals and horses and even a little on children and sports. I would explain how modern training differs from conventional training and why it is so powerful, scientifically. I would also give some personal stories.
