15 DTI

Question 1

A.k.a. discrete trial training, DTT

Specific social antecedent stimulus - response - Socially mediated consequence

Many consecutive trials presented

• Intersperse
• Repeat trials

Artificial environment (Not naturally occurring)

Answer 1

Discrete trial instruction

Question 2

• Antecedent stimulus:
Social Cue is presented
Motivating operation contrived

•. Response
Target response

• Socially mediated consequence
Reinforcer
Prompt
Error correction

Answer 2

DTI components

Question 3

Stimulus fading

prompt fading

Answer 3

Errorless learning procedures

Question 4

A.k.a. natural environment training, NET

Learning initiated responses - naturally occurring activities and materials

MMotivating operations: captured, contrived

Response - Socially mediated naturally occurring consequence

Natural environment

Answer 4

Incidental teaching

Question 5

Therapist says who is that, Therapist prompts call and say that to mom.

Therapist whispers who is that. Therapist prompted say that’s mom

Therapist prompts say that’s a mom

Answer 5

Example of stimulus fading

Question 6

Therapist says who is that? Therapist prompted say that mom

Therapist whispers who is that? Therapist says that…

Therapist whispers who is that…

Answer 6

Example of prompt fading

Question 7

Caution: learner might not be motivated

When to use: Early learners – gain instructional control
Fast learner is – depends on repertoire and skill targeted

Results in: rapid rate of acquisition

Answer 7

Discrete trial instruction

Question 8

Caution: rapid change in motivation which can be hard to detect

Early learners – use most of the time

Result in: stimulus and response generalization

Answer 8

Incidental teaching

Question 9

Which of the following best describes a learning procedure that would be most effective to help acquire instructional control with an early learner?

Errorless instruction

Discrete trial instruction

Natural environment training

Incidental teaching

Answer 9

Discrete trial instruction

Question 10

Which of the following is not true of incidental teaching?

Naturally occurring activities and materials are incorporated into the training

The antecedents are natural responses from the learner

The consequences to the targeted responses are socially mediated naturally occurring consequences

Training occurs in the natural environment

Answer 10
