    Discrete Trial Teaching

    Uploaded by

    Discrete trial teaching is a methodology that breaks skills down into smaller sub-skills, teaches them individually, and uses reinforcement to shape behaviors. It presents small amounts of information and immediately seeks a response, unlike more traditional methods. Each part of a skill must be mastered before adding more. For example, teaching receptive labels uses discrete trials with antecedents, behaviors, and consequences to shape a child's responses through attention and praise until they can correctly touch requested objects.

    Discrete Trial Teaching

    Discrete trial teaching is a specific methodology used to maximize


    learning. It is strategy that can be used for all ages and populations.
    The technique involves: 1) breaking a skill into smaller parts; 2)
    teaching one sub-skill at a time until mastery; 3) providing
    concentrated teaching; 4) providing prompting and prompt fading as
    necessary; and 5) using reinforcement procedures.
    A teaching session involves many trials, with each trial having a
    distinct beginning and end, hence the name "discrete". Each part of
    the skill is mastered before more information is presented.
    In discrete trial teaching, a very small unit of information is presented
    and the student's response is immediately sought. This contrasts with
    continuous trial or more traditional teaching methods which present
    large amounts of information with no clearly defined target response
    on the student's part.
    Discrete trial teaching ensures that learning is an active process. We
    cannot rely on autistic children to simply absorb information through
    passive exposure.

    EXAMPLE OF DISCRETE TRIALS: Teaching a receptive


    label

    Antecedent

    Behavior

    "touch juice"

    touches juice;
    good attention
    touches cookie;
    good attention
    touches juice;
    poor attention
    touches juice;
    good attention
    no response;
    good attention

    "touch cookie"
    "touch juice"
    "touch cookie"
    "touch cookie"

    Consequence ("C")
    "great"
    "terrific"
    "OK"
    "uh-uh"
    no
    reinforcement
    (student must understand
    what this consequence
    means)

    "touch cookie"

    no response;
    poor attention

    "You're not
    looking"; "too
    slow"; etc.
