This page displays information about Tommy's training and testing
progress. Move your mouse over any cell to get detailed statistics.
The key at right is a guide to the meaning of each colored background.
White cells denote behaviors on which no training has occurred. A diagonal gray shading is added to behaviors which are optional. Fully gray cells appear for behaviors on levels in which they are not taught.
Yellow cells have training sessions logged, but have not been tested. For these, the number of uncued and cued reps performed during the most recent session is displayed, as well as the cued success rate for that session. Behaviors marked with Green cells have been tested, and display the success rate for the most recent test.
