Practice time for the learner to perform a skill until they reach performance criteria?

• A. BST: Instructions
• B. BST: Modeling
• C. BST: Rehearsal
• D. Behavioral skills training (BST)

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is the practice phase where the learner actually performs the skill repeatedly until meeting a predefined standard. This phase is called rehearsal. In Behavioral Skills Training, instruction and modeling prepare the learner, but rehearsal is the part that provides hands-on practice opportunities to perform the skill and work toward the performance criteria, often with feedback to guide improvement. The other components—giving explicit instructions, showing how to do the skill, and the overall BST framework—include these steps, but the element that centers on practicing until criterion is met is rehearsal.
