Introduction to the Scent Wheel (log)

Spent the day with Lynn and Lily and the scent wheel.  No hot dogs, so used Lily's log instead, inside the covered salt shaker.  Different house.  Different target scent.  And the shaker was closed instead of open.  Dropped the cue. (I noticed that the wheel itself has become Lily's cue to "play the game")  Began with the shaker in hand, to introduce the new scent.  Gradually moved it around the floor, always moving closer to the wheel.  Did not ask for duration.  Criteria: nose on shaker or can.

Session 5

22/25
88%                         

(Was this session too long with 25 reps?)

Session 6, the final session of the day, was not filmed.  10/10.  100%.  What was accomplished today?

• Nad consistently targeted the shaker containing log.  Was he targeting or sniffing?
• Nad found the shaker w/target scent on the wheel.  Was he targeting or sniffing?
• Nad found the shaker w/target scent in the can on the wheel.  Was he targeting or sniffing?
• Nad found the shaker w/target scent in the can on the wheel when the wheel turned very slightly to the left and again when it was turned very slightly to the right.  Once he targeted the empty can to the right and then found the target scent in the correct can.
• Nad is beginning to understand the game.
• Nad is developing persistence

These sessions were interspersed over a 4 hour period.
