In which step of Behavioral Skills Training does the supervisor demonstrate the target skill?

In Behavioral Skills Training (BST), the step where the supervisor demonstrates the target skill is crucial, as it provides a clear model for the learner to observe. This demonstration occurs after the initial explanation of the skill and before the learner has the opportunity to practice it. By showing the target skill, the supervisor clarifies the expected behaviors and techniques, allowing the learner to understand how the skill looks in practice. This step is essential for modeling the correct approach, influencing the learner's execution of the skill during subsequent practice sessions, and facilitating effective learning outcomes through observation.

The steps that precede and follow this demonstration are important in their own right as they provide context and opportunities for feedback and practice, but the demonstration itself specifically occurs at the third step in the process.
