Preference Assessment - ANSWER A set of procedures used to identify stimuli that
might function as reinforcers.
Types of Preference Assessments - ANSWER -free operant=duration of interaction ( how
long the stay with one stmulus they pick )
-single stimulus =duration of interaction ( how long they take with that stimulus)
-multiple stimulus with replacement=frequency
-multiple stimulus without replacement =rank order
-paired stimulus = frequency
Preference assessments and reinforcer assessments are NOT the same thing. -
ANSWER true
In a _________________________ preference assessment, the individual is allowed to
approach any stimulus desired and interact with it for as long as they want. - ANSWER
free operant
In single stimulus preference assessments, children are given free access to a room full
of toys, but must choose only one to play with. - ANSWER false
To maximize the effectiveness of a preference assessment, be certain to include items
that the individual has never seen. - ANSWER false
Free Operant Preference Assessment Instructions - ANSWER -Select 5-10 items and
arrange them
-----All of the items should be accessible to the individual.
,-Allow individual to familiarize self with all items prior to assessment
-----To rule out novelty effects once assessment begins
Take individual away from the area while items are rearranged in a new configuration
-----Everything should still be available
Bring the individual back to the area and inform her that she can play with one, all, or
none of the toys
-----Let her know that she can play however she wants during the evaluation
Collect Partial Interval Data
-----Place a check mark in a column representing each toy the child interacted with in
each time interval.
-Do not use social reinforcement as the child interacts
-----This muddies the data.
-Calculate the percent of intervals each item was interacted with
-----Rank the items in order of preference
Single Stimulus Preference Assessment Instructions - ANSWER -Select 5-8 items for
presentation
-Allow the child to familiarize self with all items prior to testing
-Inform child he may play with the items you present for a couple of minutes, or give
them back if he finishes early.
-Do not pair playing with social attention.
-Collect duration data for each item.
-Repeat several times to ensure accurate results.
-Sum the duration across trials
,In this preference assessment, children have access to a variety of toys and can
interact with one or more as they choose. - ANSWER free opreant

Paired Stimulus Preference Assessment - ANSWER -Before starting allow the child to
sample all of the stimuli
Hide stimuli from view.
Present a randomly selected pair of stimuli
Allow @30 seconds of interaction with the selected item
Mark the data sheet
Repeat steps 3-5 until all possible pairs have been presented.
Calculate the percent of trials each item was selected.
