This document provides a homework assignment on discrete-trial computer-based programmed instruction. It consists of 15 multiple choice questions testing understanding of key concepts in discrete trials such as discriminative stimuli, prompts, hierarchies of prompts, responses, consequences, and reinforcement. The questions require matching terms to definitions and identifying correct examples and sequencing of discrete trial steps.
