If I remember correctly, including those items can show us the learner's ability to transfer skills to new situations, right?

I remember a practice question about assessing prior knowledge, but I can't recall if it was specifically about untaught tasks.

I think the untaught items help us see if the learner can generalize skills, but I'm not entirely sure how that works in practice.

I'm confident I know the answer to this one. The purpose is to assess the student's ability to apply the skills they've learned to novel situations. That's a key part of evaluating the effectiveness of a Discrete Trial program.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know Discrete Trial Instruction is used to teach new skills, but I'm not sure why you'd include untaught items. I'll have to review my notes.

Okay, I've got an idea. The purpose must be to assess the student's generalization of the skills they've learned. That's a common way to evaluate progress in these programs.

Hmm, I think this question is testing our understanding of the purpose behind that instructional technique. I'll try to recall what we learned about it in class.
