He Tipped His Hand

Yesterday Mr. Ben tipped his hand. He let us in on his little secret that we had simply speculated about before. He has been deciding whether the motivator is worth it to him. If he really wants to watch a movie, he will feed himself, and do it in the specified time, but if he would prefer to play in the playroom with his friend, he chooses not to feed himself, and gladly gives up the privilege to watch a movie. He told us that he was okay with missing Scooby Doo because there was a Leprechaun party later. Aaah! Got it. What he doesn't know is that the behavioral psychologist is analyzing everything. His motivating prizes are about to change. He may not like some of the consequences of not feeding himself, and not getting the meal finished in the allotted amount of time. It will be interesting to see what the team comes up with.
