Describe applied behavior analysis (ABA) and discrete trial training
What will be an ideal response?
ABA is a process of implementing interventions to improve behaviors and simultaneously evaluating whether or not any changes are noted and attributable to the intervention. One of the strategies of ABA is discrete trial teaching in which a teacher presents a discriminative stimulus (an event or condition to elicit a response; i.e., a question, instruction, or command), waits for a response (the desired behavior), and then provides a reinforcing stimulus (reinforcer) when the appropriate behavior is displayed to increase the probability that the behavior will occur again. In practice, discrete trial training often includes the use of prompts
