The evaluation is recorded on the student's cassette, together with the following week's assignment, and sent back to the student. The student may join a local support group or, if none exists, practice with other students over the telephone. The twelve weeks are broken into three phases. These exercises are designed to establish basic habit strength in extremely low-stress environments. They are used to create the initial reflex pathways which will constitute the basis for the new habits.
Much repetition is required.
These make use of an electro-mechanical device called The MotivAider . The MotivAider produces a periodic, private reminder to the student to employ the techniques in all situations. Without it, it would be extremely difficult to habituate the new behaviors. Finally, the last month's assignments are called 'real world' exercises. In this month emphasis is placed on correct use of techniques in all situations regardless of the degree of stress or distraction.
