Cues and Prompts

Cues and prompts are tools used to help guide behavior or responses. A cue is a signal or stimulus that indicates it's time to act, such as a timer reminding you to take medicine. A prompt is an additional hint or reminder that encourages or facilitates the action, like a note on the medication bottle. Together, cues and prompts support learning and ensure desired behaviors occur by providing timely and effective guidance. They are commonly used in teaching, training, therapy, and behavioral management to shape and reinforce actions.
