| Abstract: | Current research on preference methodology and the effects of choice with children who are typically developing is limited.
This study evaluated two preference methodologies for identifying reinforcers across two choice options within the classroom.
These methods include a teacher-generated list of reinforcers, a student-generated list of reinforcers, student choice from
both lists, and teacher choice from both lists. Four elementary aged-children with no diagnosed learning or developmental
disabilities participated. Both preference methods were effective in identifying reinforcers for all participants. Moreover,
both choice options resulted in increases in responding. Results are discussed with respect to reinforcement and the effects
of “choice.” |
