C. Stimulus Delta
Which of the following is NOT a teaching phase of DTT? A. Generalization B. Stimulus Control C. Toleration
C. Toleration
discrete trial training (DTT)
an aba-based intervention in which skills are task analyzed, and each of the smaller (discrete) skills are taught through repetition of stimulus presentation, prompting, and reinforcement. These skills are then systematically recombined into the larger skills or skill sets and are taught for generalization, discrimination, and maintenance.
discrimination
behavior occurs in the presence of specific stimuli but not in the presence of similar stimuli
generalization
behavior that occurs in response to similar stimuli without additional training
conditioned reinforcement
reinforcement that is learned via pairing with primary reinforcement
multiple exemplar training
teaching multiple examples of the SD and the Sdelta until the concept is able to be applied to untrained stimuli
primary reinforcement
unlearned, biologically innate reinforcement that does not require teaching, such as food
stimulus control
when a stimulus reliably elicits a behavior even without direct, immediate reinforcement
