Intentionally setting up teaching procedures to be implemented in the natural context for the skill being targeted.

• A. Prompt
• B. NET
• C. Discriminative Stimulus (SD)
• D. Chaining

Answer: (A)

Natural environment teaching (NET) is about intentionally arranging teaching opportunities within the learner’s everyday environment so the skill is learned in the setting where it will actually be used. The description given matches NET because it focuses on teaching in real-life contexts to promote generalization and functional use, rather than in a highly structured, artificial setting.

A prompt is a cue used to elicit the correct response, which may be part of teaching but doesn’t define the method or setting itself. The other terms describe different concepts—discriminative stimulus signals that reinforcement is available, and chaining teaches a sequence of steps. The emphasis here is on where and how instruction is set up, which aligns with NET.
