Psy-Jagon 1: Prompt

Prompt, a form of help given to indicate to another what he/she has to do.

There are several types of prompts:

1. Gestural (e.g. pointing)
2. Verbal (e.g. "over there")
3. Physical (which includes partial or full - e.g. holding the hand to write [full], nudging [partial])

We can also describe a prompt as minimal (gestures such as eyeing or opening the hand to indicate give) or maximal (full physical prompts). The rest could constitute moderate prompts depending on context. Prompts can also be use in combination (e.g. pointing and saying "keep").
