How the lesson starts
Which items does your client prefer? A preference assessment helps you find out. The results can help predict which items will work as reinforcers.
Your supervisor assigns a preference assessment. You prepare for it, follow its presentation procedure, and collect data. Summarize those data afterward.

A question from this lesson
Your supervisor assigns multiple stimulus without replacement. The client selects a ball. What happens before the next trial?
- Return the ball to the array
- Replace the ball with an identical ball
- Remove the ball from the array
Show the answer
C. Remove the ball from the array. Remove the ball from the array. Without replacement means the selected item stays out. Returning it or replacing it with an identical ball would keep that selection available.
