An Extension of the Response-Restriction Preference Assessment
Get PDFThe purpose of the current study was to extend research on response-restriction (RR) preference assessment by (a) comparing the rate of problem behavior across preference assessments (i.e., multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO), Free Operant (FO), RR) using modification made to improve the RR assessment, (b) determining whether RR can produce similar hierarchies to other preference assessments, (c) conducting a reinforcer assessment to determine if the RR assessment accurately predict reinforcers. The study was conducted for two children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As a result, the rate of problem behavior for all assessments occurred at a similarly low rate. The RR assessment produced hierarchies similar to those of the other assessments. It is undetermined if the RR assessment could accurately predict reinforcers. Results are discussed in terms of recommendations for future research
