Multiple Stimulus Preference Assessment

A preference assessment is a type of procedure that is used to determine what types of stimuli a person prefers (Cooper, Heron, and Heward, 2007).

There are two different types of Multiple-Stimulus Preference Assessments:

Multiple-Stimulus with Replacement

Multiple-Stimulus without Replacement (MSWO)

With this Multiple Stimulus form, you can learn a large number of child reinforcers in a very short period of time, which is suitable for children who are able to choose favorite items from a wide range of items. A set of at least 5 items (food or toys) is displayed ) and then arrange them in a hierarchy from least to most preferred.
