When delivering a discrete trial session, what is the most important reason to minimize distractions in the environment?

Because the learner needs to obtain focus so they can answer the question they have been asked to do.

Explanation:

Discrete Trial Training (DTT) is one of the several teaching methods that fall under the wider method of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). DTT breaks down skills into small, discrete components. These skills are thought with the trainer one by one. When there is a desired behavior, teachers may give some small reward. This method is particularly effective for teaching skills to children with autism.
