Chewie’s Diary Week 58: A cone on my head?

Today, I’m on my way to New York. I’ll be speaking this weekend at ClickerExpo, an annual conference organized by Karen Pryor Clicker Training.

Chewie doesn’t get to come with me to the conference, but she has definitely been helping me prepare for my lectures, as you can see in the photos below!

Chewie stands on her platform, while I have a cone on my head!

This year, I’ll be giving a lecture and a learning lab about cues.

We’ll be talking about what cues are, what does it mean for a behavior to be “on cue”, how constant stimuli work in conjunction with cues, how to change cues, and much more!

In these photos, Chewie was practicing going to her platform and standing on the platform.

Meanwhile, I was experimenting with making changes to some of the constant stimuli and documenting how this affected her behavior.

I’ll share more next week about ClickerExpo and about the concept of constant stimuli.
