In Milgram's obedience experiments, when a participant (teacher) hesitated or questioned continuing, the experimenter would give a series of verbal prods or prompts to encourage the participant to proceed with administering shocks to the learner. These prompts were designed to see if the participant would continue to obey authority despite their personal discomfort.
