Training motivator applying psychological reinforcement - switches on tape-recorded music if given effort is exceeded

摘要

The training motivator is intended to encourage the will to train and is programmed to exert a psychological influence on the person training by applying Pavlov's law. This means that an attitude followed by an agreeable effect tends to be reinforced, whereas the opposite also applies. The motivator switches a music playing tape player on, when a predetermined effort has been exceeded on a training appts. such as a home training cycle. When the effort is below the required level the motivator switches a bell on which in turn is switched off when the required level of effort is reached or exceeded.
