Assessment Types of Preference Assessments Caregiver interview Direct observation  Systematic assessment Caregiver Interview Preference Assessment Involves obtaining information from the individual's parents, friends and teachers about what the individual likes/prefers. Direct Observation Preference Assessment Involves presenting the individual with free access to items you think he or she will like and recording the amount of time the person engage with them. The more time spent with an item or activity, the stronger the presumed preference. Preference assessment methods Single item preference assessment  Paired method or force-choice preference assessment  Multiple choice preference assessment Single Item Preference Assessment Objects and activities are presented one by one. Each item is presented several times in a random order. After each presentation, data are recorded on how long the person engages with each object or activity. Paired method or force-choice preference assessment Involves simultaneously presentation of two items or activities. All items are paired systematically with every other item in a random order to ensure completeness. For each pair of item, the individual is asked to choose one. The most frequently selected item will likely be the most potent reinforcer. Multiple Choice preference assessment is an extension of paired method. Instead of having two items to choose from, Thera are three or more. There are two variations to this method, with and without replacement.  With replacement: when an object is selected, all other objects are replaced in the next trial. Ex: if the individual if given a choice of cookies, crackers, and chips, and he chooses cookies the cookies will be available for the next trial but the crackers and chips will be replaced for new items  Without replacement: The cookies would not be replaced and the choice would only be between th crackers and the chips, no new items will be available
