How often do DTT sessions usually repeat questions?

In Discrete Trial Training (DTT), the objective is to teach skills through structured and repeated practice. Typically, questions or trials are designed to be repeated multiple times within a session to ensure mastery and reinforce learning. This repetition allows the learner to practice responding and increases the likelihood of reinforcement when the correct answer is provided.

The correct approach to repetition in DTT involves presenting the same question multiple times, as this facilitates learning through consistency and familiarity. By repeating trials, the therapist can track the learner’s progress and understand whether they are gaining proficiency in the skill being taught.

The process does not involve asking only one question repeatedly without variation. Instead, it emphasizes varied approaches to similar questions or tasks to enhance learning, but within the framework, there would be intentional repetitions to support skill acquisition effectively. The other potential options suggest infrequent repetition or randomness, which does not align with the structured, repeated practice characteristic of DTT.
