DTT and Incidental Teaching

Discrete Trial Teaching is a ________ teaching technique based on the principles of ABA

• student initiated

• center-based

• structured

• class-based

Incidental Teaching is a teaching technique whereby the ___________ initiates the teaching interaction

• Teacher

• Parent

• Peer

• Student

Incidental teaching is initiated when a student expresses interest in something that can elicit ________________

• expanding language skills

• more contrived opportunities

• negative reinforcement

What is the first step of DTT?

• Provide the discriminative stimulus

• Provide error correction

• Gain the student's attention

• Provide a prompt

This is a teaching technique in which a student is provided with a prompt immediately after the discriminative stimulus (SD).

• Incidental Teaching

• Discrete Trial Teaching

• Errorless Teaching

• Reinforcement

In incidental teaching, there are two different types of opportunities- contrived and captured. When the teacher arranges the environment in a way that encourages the student to make an invitation this is;

• Contrived opportunity

• Captured opportunity

Select all of the examples of captured opportunities

• The student reaches for a specific item they want

• They need assistance with an item or activity

• A favorite item or activity is placed in a clear container

• When engaging in an activity, the activity is suddenly stopped.

When providing reinforcement for trials with less assistance/prompts and then eventually only for independent trials is:

• Positive Reinforcement

• Negative Reinforcement

• Differential Reinforcement

• Errorless teaching

The following sequence is an example of __________

1. Gain student's attention

2. Provide the instruction (SD)

3. Student responds

4. Praise and reinforce or error correct

5. Short break (inter trial interval)

6. Repeat

• Incidental Teaching

• Discrete Trial Teaching

The following sequence is an example of ___________:

1. Student initiates by showing interest in an object or activity

2. Teacher asks for an elaboration (question or related language prompt)

3. Student responds

4. Teacher provides praise + access to the activity
