Target: Keep C's H–R–R–H places fixed and explain how sustained versus sudden arrival at R may shift attention.
Prepare: C, time strip, pencil or marker. Optional original four-count click at comfortable level; printed counts are enough.
- Launch · 2 min. Distinguish a sudden timing from forceful bodily action. No one has to move fast or use audio.
- Model · 4 min. Draw a long line through count 2 for gradual arrival; draw an arrival mark at the start of 2 for the other version. Both rest at R for count 3.
- Guided looking · 5 min. Compare exactly what stays fixed and what changes. Ask which timing could make a fictional announcement feel less abrupt and why.
- Practice route · 7 min. Learner manipulates the time strip, directs a marker or opts into locally approved small movement. They record one possible reading tied to the mark.
- Audit · 4 min. Reject “stronger because it uses more force” if only timing changed. Check count sequence, comfort and no compulsory sound.
- Exit · 3 min. Collect two arrival marks and a limitation; preview a relationship to an object.
