One of our business mottos is Divas Never Stop Learning so when I came across this article published by the New York Times about learning and teaching new behaviors, I couldn't resist sharing it with friends and family. Below is an excerpt from the article...
I was using what trainers call "approximations," rewarding the small steps toward learning a whole new behavior. You can't expect a baboon to learn to flip on command in one session, just as you can't expect an American husband to begin regularly picking up his dirty socks by praising him once for picking up a single sock. With the baboon you first reward a hop, then a bigger hop, then an even bigger hop.
