“…For example, data obtained across methods suggest that qualitative differences inherent in magnitude or continuity can influence value. This extends previous literature exploring factors that can impact reinforcer value (DeLeon et al, 2014;Steinhilber & Johnson, 2007). Future research should explore comparisons of the Bnatural value^of a stimulus versus the Boptimal value.^In other words, does the difference in magnitude of a stimulus in the context of intervention sessions and how the individual consumes the stimulus in the natural environment matter?…”

The impact of stimulus size and presentation on choice during a preference assessment was investigated using a modified multiple-stimulus without replacement (MSWO) technique. Stimuli were either presented with a uniform magnitude, as determined by mass, or in a manner consistent with caregiver report of reinforcer consumption. While both assessment procedures identified the same top three preferred items in three out of five cases, greater variability in the preference rank of less preferred items was observed between assessments.

“…More recently, Steinhilber and Johnson (2007) compared the effects of brief and relatively long access to items included in a preference assessment. Their findings suggested that data collected during preference assessments may vary based on the amount of postselection duration of stimulus access.…”

“…With limited presession access and limited contingent access, the reinforcing efficacy of nonedible stimuli may be reduced. This supports the finding that duration may influence the reinforcing efficacy of some stimuli (Steinhilber & Johnson, 2007). In addition, as in prior research (e.g., Vollmer & Iwata, 1991), the present results suggest that presession exposure may have idiosyncratic effects across individuals.…”

We assessed the effects of individually defined small, medium, and large periods of presession access to edible and nonedible reinforcers on response rates during sessions in which responding produced access to identical reinforcers. Any presession access to an edible reinforcer decreased response rates for 1 participant, and small and medium periods of presession access to nonedible reinforcers resulted in similar or increased response rates for 2 participants.

“…This matches the duration of leisure item access provided by DeLeon et al () and Bojak and Carr (), but differs from the 15 s access provided by Fahmie et al (). Providing longer durations of access to leisure items may result in greater preference for those items (Steinhilber & Johnson, ). Future research could evaluate whether various durations of leisure item access (e.g., 15 s, 30 s, 1 min, 5 min) lead to different preferences for these leisure items relative to edible items.…”

Relative preferences for edible and leisure stimuli in children with autism

Prior researchers have reported a tendency for individuals with developmental disabilities to select edible items more often than leisure items when those items are presented together in stimulus preference assessments. However, children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), with whom many behavior analysts currently practice, are underrepresented in this body of literature. We conducted a replication of prior research with 26 children with ASD. Results indicated that edible items were more likely than leisure items to rank highly in our preference assessments, in concurrence with prior research. However, leisure items were also selected more often overall than in prior research, and significant individual variation was observed. These results suggest that preference assessments containing both edible and leisure stimuli can yield useful information for behavior analysts providing services to children with ASD, and the degree of preference for edible items noted in prior work may not be reflected in this contemporary population.
