Goal: distinguish a genuinely observed adult-controlled movement from pictured positions and represent the raw path or its hidden part. Proposed codes: AC9SFU02 and AC9SFI02 (only for actual direct safe observation), AC9SFI03. Prepare: locally pretested approved large pad/table or F/G paper only, blank path record, Card 124.
- Gate · 3 min. Confirm approval, local date, exact apparatus, adult movement, clear access and stop rule. Otherwise mark REAL OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
- Before · 4 min. Revisit the child's true prior prediction if one exists; otherwise write NO PRIOR PREDICTION. Keep F/G labelled MODEL.
- Adult action · 5 min. If approved, adult slowly moves the large pad on the level surface while children may choose a direct safe view; stop at interruption. If not, read F/G; never mime a real result.
- Raw record · 7 min. Card 124 routes capture what was directly seen, including START, path, pause/turn/stop or PATH NOT SEEN. Attribute any neutral ADULT REPORT exactly.
- Source check · 4 min. Ask which statement came from today's actual event and which from F/G. Avoid assuming the pad followed either drawn route.
- Exit · 2 min. File actual date/source/access or model-only note; no fixed class outcome is supplied.
