How the lesson starts
When you help a client learn, discrete-trial teaching organizes your teaching attempts into a planned structure. It is one way you may carry out behavior-change interventions.
Your supervisor assigns discrete-trial teaching. You carry out repeated trials, starting each with an instruction or presentation.
Then, in the full lesson
- The response
- Planned consequence

- Repeat the sequence

A question from this lesson
You give an instruction, and the client responds. What comes next in the trial?
- Deliver the planned consequence
- Give the next instruction
- Choose an unplanned consequence
Show the answer
A. Deliver the planned consequence. Deliver the planned consequence after the response. The next instruction comes after the consequence and a pause. Choosing an unplanned consequence leaves out the careful planning that defines this part of the trial.
