cueing
Giving the signal
Cueing is signaling or prompting someone or something to act.
A director cues actors to enter; a DJ cues up the next track.
In psychology, cueing refers to providing hints that trigger memory or behavior: Environmental cueing helps patients with dementia navigate daily routines.
The spelling cuing is also common.
