RBT Discrete Trial Teaching Methods 5

Question 1

An RBT notices that a learner always selects the picture on the far right, regardless of which picture is correct. To address this, the RBT should:

Accepted Answer

Randomize the position of stimuli across trials

Answer

Position bias can be corrected by systematically varying the spatial placement of stimuli so the learner cannot rely on position as a cue.

Question 2

Which data collection method is most commonly used during DTT to track accuracy across trials?

Accepted Answer

Trial-by-trial data

Answer

Trial-by-trial data (recording + or – for each trial) is the standard DTT data method, giving a precise accuracy percentage per session.

Question 3

A learner has mastered labeling objects at the therapy table but cannot name the same objects at home or school. This indicates a lack of:

Accepted Answer

Generalization

Answer

Generalization occurs when a learned skill transfers to new settings, people, or materials; failure to do so means generalization has not been achieved.

Question 4

When using a least-to-most prompt hierarchy in DTT, the RBT should:

Accepted Answer

Begin with the least intrusive prompt and increase support only if the learner does not respond

Answer

Least-to-most prompting starts with minimal assistance and increases the level of support only when the learner fails to respond correctly.

Question 5

Which of the following best illustrates an incorrect use of reinforcement during DTT?

Accepted Answer

Giving a snack after an incorrect response to avoid frustration

Answer

Providing reinforcement after an incorrect response can inadvertently reinforce error responding and undermine the learning objective.
