You may notice that the program adjusts how much help it gives students. It will give more help and more practice for targets students are finding difficult while removing targets students find unchallenging. The more filled in little circles on targets you see (as shown in the image), the less help the student will receive with that target. The empty circles represent how many more times that target needs to be successfully found before it is removed from the activity. There is more information about this mechanism here.
