Clicker training a child!

I will start by saying I am not judging, people can bring their children up how they want. This is more out of interest, trying to find out if there are any benefits and if anyone has tried this.

The other day I saw someone clicker training their child. Now I had never seen this before, I heard the noise and was looking round for a dog then I realised the click was directed at the child. The parent asked the child to do something and when the child did she clicked and then the child was rewarded not with food but in another way.

This intrigued me, has anyone on here tried this? Surely a child would react just as well to the same reward and an explanation of why she was getting it? Is there any research evidence on this being a good way to teach children?

Re: Clicker training a child!

They use it in sports etc can't see why you couldn't or some kind of marker word to improve behaviour. The principle been around for a long time and surely the kid would keep doing a behaviour if you rewarded them with whatever. Pretty sure using a shock collar on a human would be illegal and inhumane as it should be on dogs

Re: Clicker training a child!

Nicky10, how do they use it in sport?

It definitly shocked me when I first saw it but I could see a use for it now, I could get how it would work in autistic children.
