Using a Choice Assessment to Predict Reinforcer Effectiveness.
Piazza, Cathleen C.; And Others
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v29 n1 p1-9 Spr 1996
A choice assessment was used to categorize reinforcers as high, middle, and low preference with 4 males (ages 7 to 19) with multiple disabilities including severe/profound mental retardation. High-preference stimuli consistently functioned as reinforcers for all subjects whereas low-preference stimuli did not function as reinforcers. (Author/DB)
