A physicаl therаpist аttempts tо teach a persоn in stage 6 dementia tо use a front-wheeled walker for ambulation because they have been having increased falls when they get up without assistance in their room. The patient has not used a walker to ambulate previously. Prior to working on the task, the therapist places bright orange tape around the walker grips to increase visibility. The therapist then places the walker directly in front of the patient while they are seated in their recliner. The therapist asks the prompt "What do you do when you get up from your chair?" And then cues and demonstrates the task of standing up and holding the walker grips and states "I use my walker". The therapist repeats the prompt over and over and facilitates the patient to perform the target task and verbal response back each repetition. After 10+ repetitions, the therapist then begins to increase the time between trials.This task fits best under which of the following categories of interventions?
