responses based on preliminary testing. In this case, our field guide (Alex Fonseca)
was chosen as the first study participant in the training process. This included getting
the surveyors ready for the field surveys, but also helped to tailor the survey
instrument to the study participants (audience). One of the key recommendations
was to keep the process as brief as possible in order to retain participant attention and
cooperation.
