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.

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.
