Weldy, Christina R.; Rapp, John T.; Capocasa, Kelli – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
We trained 9 behavioral staff members to conduct 2 brief preference assessments using 30-min video presentations that contained instructions and modeling. After training, we evaluated each staff member's implementation of the assessments in situ. Results indicated that 1 or 2 training sessions for each method were sufficient for teaching each…

Ward-Horner, John C.; Pittenger, Alexis; Pace, Gary; Fienup, Daniel M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
When the overall magnitude of reinforcement is matched between 2 alternative work schedules, some students prefer to complete all of their work for continuous access to a reinforcer (continuous work) rather than distributed access to a reinforcer while they work (discontinuous work). We evaluated a student's preference for continuous work by…

Snyder, Katie; Higbee, Thomas S.; Dayton, Elizabeth – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
Video clips may be an effective format for presenting complex stimuli in preference assessments. In this preliminary study, we evaluated the correspondence between preference hierarchies generated from preference assessments that included either toys or videos of the toys. The top-ranked item corresponded in both assessments for 5 of the 6…

Zlomke, Kimberly R.; Dixon, Mark R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2006
The present experiment investigated the impact of contextually trained discriminations on gambling behavior. Nine recreational slot-machine players were initially exposed to concurrently available computerized slot machines that were each programmed on random-ratio schedules of reinforcement and differed only in color. All participants distributed…
