The Click That Teaches

"The Click That Teaches" is a concept from behavioral psychology and training, emphasizing the importance of a specific, consistent signal—like a click—to mark desired behavior just at the moment it occurs. This "click" acts as a clear, unambiguous cue that the behavior is correct, which helps the learner (human or animal) understand precisely what action is being rewarded. When paired with a follow-up reward, the click speeds up learning by promptly linking the behavior with positive reinforcement, making training more efficient and effective.
