Preference Assessments

Discussion

Please complete your assigned readings and respond to the following:

Refer to your readings and determine which type of preference assessment you would like to try. Then, download the corresponding data sheet you have selected from the EBIP Data Collection Sheets

Perform the preference assessment with your participant and upload the completed preference assessment data sheet to your post as an attachment.

Which preference assessment did you choose?

Based on the completed preference assessment data, what are your participants most preferred and least preferred items?

According to your Chapter 10 reading, how will you determine whether or not the identified preferred stimulus from the preference assessment results will effectively reinforce target behaviors?
