Space: Room-scale practice space Automated structural checklist: 10 of 10 structural checks present Evidence quality/context: G2; Detailed research depth Automated method-quality band: Established Method-rating basis: Structure coverage, instruction/check specificity, alternative distinctness, source troubleshooting, comparison depth and whether purpose/check fields are authored rather than derived. Editorial review: Pending manual editorial sign off ## Before you begin - [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions. - [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative. ## Canonical source context This lesson teaches a consented group timing exercise. Members establish a pulse, take roles, enter and stop on cues, notice drift and recover together. Synchrony is measured as timing behaviour; it does not prove liking, bonding or conformity. Target outcome: A group of three or four completes three 30-second pulse trials with correct entrances, stops and recovery from one planned disruption. ### Authority and setup conditions - Prepare a consented three- or four-person pulse exercise at comfortable volume using simple taps, movements or switches - Before the first group entrainment attempt, write the exact result you will score: Individual and group timing error, leader/follower dynamics, coordination on a novel task, consent and member-level outcomes. - Each member chooses a comfortable movement and confirms they may pause or leave without explanation. - Agree that synchrony will not be interpreted as friendship, attitude, compliance or group worth. ### Required or supplied materials - a consented group pulse exercise at comfortable volume. - Role cards for cue leader, pulse keeper, pattern player and observer, rotated between trials. - A visible or haptic pulse option, video or observer sheet and individual opt-out cards. ## 1. Choose accessible pulse actions Each member selects a light tap, foot movement, head movement or switch. Test one action for ten seconds. Why: Equivalent time points can be shared without demanding identical bodies or sounds. Success check: Every member has a comfortable action and an opt-out signal. Accessible alternative: A supported, seated, reduced-range or slower version of “Each member selects a light tap, foot movement, head movement or switch. Test one action for ten seconds.” is equivalent only when it keeps the same trained or measured target, declared configuration and success check: “Every member has a comfortable action and an opt-out signal.” If any of those change, record it as a related alternative rather than an equivalent repetition. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. Establish one pulse The pulse keeper gives eight steady cues at a comfortable tempo while others only watch, hear or feel them. Why: A shared reference must exist before roles add patterns. Success check: All members can indicate the next beat using their chosen mode. Accessible alternative: Replace small or visual-only information with enlarged text, high-contrast display, spoken description or tactile/verbal cueing while preserving the same decision and success check. Mix visual, auditory and haptic cues and allow different body actions; measure shared timing rather than identical form. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 3. Enter on the leader cue The leader gives a visible three-two-one cue; all members begin on the next beat and continue for sixteen beats. Why: A common entrance separates synchrony from gradual accidental convergence. Success check: Every entrance occurs within the declared one-beat window. Accessible alternative: Replace spoken or audio cues with visible text, captions or haptic timing while keeping the same sequence and success check. Keep usual aids for Group entrainment; record each support inside the group entrainment setup. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 4. Add one simple pattern One pattern player performs tap–rest–tap–rest while others keep the pulse. Keep sound low enough to hear or see the shared cue. Why: A simple role difference tests coordination without making sameness the goal. Success check: The pattern keeps its rests and the pulse does not speed up. Accessible alternative: Replace small or visual-only information with enlarged text, high-contrast display, spoken description or tactile/verbal cueing while preserving the same decision and success check. Accessible opening check for Group entrainment: Every member has a comfortable action and an opt-out signal. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 5. Stop on a shared cue The leader raises a stop card; members complete the current beat and stop together without extra taps. Why: Controlled stopping is as important as joining. Success check: No member adds more than one beat after the stop cue. Accessible alternative: Complete “The leader raises a stop card; members complete the current beat and stop together without extra taps.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “No member adds more than one beat after the stop cue.” Mix visual, auditory and haptic cues and allow different body actions; measure shared timing rather than identical form. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 6. Name and repair drift The observer reports early, late, extra or lost-pulse events without naming a person as the problem. The group chooses one cue change. Why: Neutral error language supports correction without blame. Success check: The next plan contains one specific cue change tied to an observed event. Accessible alternative: Replace spoken or audio cues with visible text, captions or haptic timing while keeping the same sequence and success check. Keep usual aids for Group entrainment; record each support inside the group entrainment setup. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 7. Practise recovery The leader deliberately omits one cue. Members continue the internal pulse for four beats, then rejoin when the cue returns. Why: Recovery shows whether the group can regain timing after disruption. Success check: The group re-enters within one beat without speeding or increasing volume. Accessible alternative: Replace spoken or audio cues with visible text, captions or haptic timing while keeping the same sequence and success check. Accessible opening check for Group entrainment: Every member has a comfortable action and an opt-out signal. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 8. Rotate roles and compare Rotate leader, pulse keeper, pattern and observer. Repeat once and report individual timing and burden as well as group error. Why: Role rotation reveals dependence on one person and preserves member-level experience. Success check: The record includes every member’s comfort and role-specific result. Accessible alternative: Complete “Rotate leader, pulse keeper, pattern and observer. Repeat once and report individual timing and burden as well as group error.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “The record includes every member’s comfort and role-specific result.” Mix visual, auditory and haptic cues and allow different body actions; measure shared timing rather than identical form. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## Reflection What changed? ________________________________________________________________________________ What remains difficult? ________________________________________________________________________________ What will I repeat, adapt, ask for help with, or stop? ________________________________________________________________________________ --- Completion of this worksheet demonstrates tutorial participation only.
