Which of the following are components of a discrete trial in DTT?

In a discrete trial in DTT, you start with a clear discriminative stimulus that signals the correct response is available. If the learner needs help, you provide a prompt and then fade that prompt over time so the SD becomes the controlling cue. After the response, you deliver a consequence, typically reinforcement for a correct answer (and a corrective prompt or no reinforcement for an incorrect one). This sequence—SD, prompt fading, and consequence—reflects the per-trial structure of DTT. The other options either miss the prompt and its fading, or mix in broader concepts (like schedules of reinforcement or cue exposure) that aren’t part of the discrete-trial components themselves.
