Asking the client what they like, Asking caregivers what people like, conduct naturalistic observations and systematic preference assessments
Common methods for identifying potential reinforcers
Have several items and present each item by itself for a limited amount of time and note whether the person approaches the item
Single presentation preference assessment
Present two items at once for a limited amount of time, record which item is chosen out of the pair
Paired/forced choice assessment
Present items in a line, allow a limited amount of time for the person to choose ONE.
Multiple presentation preference assessment
After an item has been selected it is placed back into the line
Multiple presentaion with replacement
The item is no longer available after it has been chosen once
Multtiple presentation without replacement
Giving a client free access to a range of potential preffered stimuli during the assessment session
Free operant assessment
Assessing reinforcing value of stimuli
Concurrent schedules of reinforcement and progressive ratio
Arrange two distinct responses- either arbitary or functional, each response results in access to a different stimulus- Record choice of response for each trial
Concurrent schedules
Gradually increasing the nu,ber of responses required for reinforcement
progressive ratio
