ABSTRACT:
A behavior monitoring and status reporting ("feedback") device, and the method of its use, are disclosed. The device gives visual feedback to a person concerning his or her behavior, along a continuous or discrete interval scale. The user moves an indicator to show the current status of the monitored person's behavior as the person completes each of a series of objectives or satisfies other criteria to justify the receipt of rewards or penalties. The apparatus is intended for use in two primary applications, among others. In the first application, a series of objectives to be achieved by the person being monitored is defined by the user of the device, and posted on a removable panel. The indicator is then moved to the position opposite each objective as the objective is achieved. After the last objective is achieved, a reward is given. In the second application, the removable panal is partitioned into areas, each area (except the top-most area) being assocaited with a particular class of undesirable behaviors. When the person being monitored displays undesirable behavior, the indicator is moved into the area corresponding to the level of undesirable behavior displayed, and a predetermined penalty is administered.
