#3
What role does reinforcement play in Discrete Trial Training?
It serves as a consequence for correct responses, increasing the likelihood of the behavior being repeated
ExplanationReinforcement as a consequence for correct responses.
#4
Which of the following is an example of a discrete trial?
Asking a child to count from 1 to 10
ExplanationCounting task with clear start and end as a discrete trial.
#5
What is the purpose of task analysis in Discrete Trial Training?
To break down complex skills into smaller, manageable steps
ExplanationBreaking down complex skills into manageable steps.
#6
What is the primary goal of Discrete Trial Training?
To establish a foundation of basic skills
ExplanationEstablishing a foundational skill set is the primary goal of DTT.
#7
What is a discrete trial?
A brief instructional session with a clear beginning and end
ExplanationBrief, defined teaching session with clear start and end.
#8
What is errorless learning in the context of Discrete Trial Training?
A technique that minimizes the occurrence of errors during the learning process
ExplanationMinimizing errors during learning in DTT.
#9
Which of the following is NOT a component of Discrete Trial Training?
Feedback
ExplanationFeedback is not a typical component of DTT.
#10
What is the role of the instructor in Discrete Trial Training?
To provide guidance, prompts, and reinforcement during teaching sessions
ExplanationInstructor guides, prompts, and reinforces during DTT.
#11
In DTT, what is a prompt?
A cue or assistance provided to help the learner respond correctly
ExplanationCue or assistance aiding correct responses in DTT.
#12
In Discrete Trial Training, what does the term 'maintenance' refer to?
The ongoing practice and reinforcement of previously learned skills to prevent regression
ExplanationContinuous practice to prevent skill regression.
#13
What is generalization in the context of Discrete Trial Training?
The process of transferring learned skills to new situations and settings
ExplanationTransfer of learned skills to new situations.
#14
What is the purpose of data collection in Discrete Trial Training?
To track the learner's progress and make data-driven decisions
ExplanationData collection for progress tracking and decision-making.
#15
What is stimulus control in Discrete Trial Training?
The influence of antecedents on behavior, ensuring the correct response occurs in the presence of specific stimuli
ExplanationAntecedent influence on behavior ensuring correct responses in specific stimuli presence.
