A Discrete Trial(Teaching Loop) Instruction or Discrimitive Stimulus (SD) Antecedent Promptifnecessary Student’s Response Behavior Consequence Consequence Inter-trial Interval
Discrete Trial: The Instruction • Keep instruction concise. • Give when student is attending. • Doesn’t have to be verbal. Text as prompt • Be sure and give the student time to respond (at least 5 seconds) • Make sure that if you give a direction, that you are there to follow through. Instruction Promptifnecessary Child’s Response Consequence Inter-trial Interval
Discrete Trial: The Prompt • What is it? Something the teacher does that increases the likelihood of correct responding. Auditory Prompt Mixed Prompt (Model, gestural & physical) • Prompting happens BEFORE the child’s response • Allows you to get responses that you can reinforce. Instruction Prompt if necessary Child’s Response Consequence Inter-trial Interval
Discrete Trial: The Child’s Response • Four possibilities: • Independent Correct • Prompted Correct • Error • No Response Feature, function, class DTT Labeling Gestures DTT Instruction Prompt if necessary Child’s Response Consequence Inter-trial Interval
Discrete Trial: The Consequence • What is it? Clear feedback to the student about his response. Correct response= reinforcement Incorrect response=feedback that response was incorrect. • For the teaching loop to work, the child always needs a clear consequence for his response.
