Book Synopsis The Effect of Environment on Multiple-stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments by : Amber Mercer
Download or read book The Effect of Environment on Multiple-stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments written by Amber Mercer and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preference assessments have been proven to be an effective assessment tool used to identify preferences for individuals with developmental disabilities. There are 4 methods of preference assessments: single-stimulus preference assessment, paired-stimulus preference assessment, multiple stimulus with replacement preference assessment, and multiple stimulus without replacement preference assessment. The current study used the multiple-stimulus without replacement preference assessment to compare identified stimuli across 2 different environments. There were 12 participants exposed to a total of 10 sessions, 5 at home and 5 at school. The research tested for consistency among participant preference of the items chosen across sessions in both locations. The results of the current study were inconclusive; some participants had the same preference across environments and other participants did not have a clear preference in either environment. There were several limitations that may have contributed to the findings. Some of the limitations include the participants’ wide range of abilities and disabilities in the scope of their autism. Other limitations include the inability to insure the participants were not over exposed or satiated on the edible items used. Also, some participants did not have a clear preference for items.
Book Synopsis Effects of Different Assessors on Mulitple Stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments by : Stevee Sakuda
Download or read book Effects of Different Assessors on Mulitple Stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments written by Stevee Sakuda and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preference assessments have been proven to be an effective assessment that is often used to determine preferences for individuals with developmental disabilities. The multiple stimulus without replacement preference assessment was used with typically developing children. The current study compared assessors of the preference assessments: familiar and non-familiar. There were five participants exposed to a total of ten sessions. The researcher wanted to see if there was a consistency among the rank order of the items chosen across sessions with the familiar person administering the preference assessment. The researcher also wanted to see if the items chosen as reinforcers were different when the familiar person was the assessor compared to the non-familiar person. The results of the current did not support the hypothesis due to the variability between the rank orders of the items chosen and the assessors. There are several limitations that may have contributed to the findings that were discussed such as not using a reinforcer assessment to confirm the validity of the reinforcing value of the selected item.
Book Synopsis Evaluating Stimulus Inclusion Methods in Multiple-stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments by : Sara Jeglum
Download or read book Evaluating Stimulus Inclusion Methods in Multiple-stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments written by Sara Jeglum and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple-stimulus without replacement preference assessments (MSWO) have been well-documented in the literature as evidence-based methods of identifying possible reinforcers to occasion desired behavior (e.g., task completion) for individuals with and without disabilities. Stimuli included in the MSWO are typically chosen through structured interviews, arbitrary experimenter selection, observation, informal interview with caregivers or teachers, or self-report. Based on systematic review on preference assessments with adolescents with autism or developmental disabilities, stimuli for the MSWO are primarily selected based on informal report by relevant stakeholders, or inclusion procedures are not specified. Only two out of thirty studies used student self-report of preferences to identify stimuli for inclusion. While MSWOs are efficacious, the methods by which the initial stimuli are selected for an MSWO array are highly variable or not described in the extant literature, limiting the effectiveness of interventions.This study sought to elucidate a standard for stimulus inclusion methods for adolescents with autism and other developmental disabilities. Using a single-case multi-element design, four adolescent boys with autism completed MSWOs based on the various methods of identifying stimuli for the array. Reinforcer assessments were conducted to verify the most effective stimulus inclusion procedure. The identified highest preferred stimuli were delivered contingent on completion of each participant's individualized academic work. Task performance was compared using percentage of differentiation. A social validity measure was administered to stakeholders.Results indicated that for all four participants, informants endorsed vastly different stimuli for inclusion in MSWOs. When comparing these stimuli, however, there was no differentiation in the reinforcer assessment for time to task completion. One participant engaged in rates of noncompliance that differentiated between informants and the control condition. Therefore, no uniform standard for stimulus selection was identified. Acceptability data indicate that all participants were satisfied with the preference assessment procedures and found that making choices was important for the adolescents. These results suggest that it is incumbent upon those who work with adolescents on the spectrum to gather report from multiple informants to ascertain an appropriate range of possible reinforcers. Factors contributing to the efficacy of various stimulus inclusion methods are discussed.

Book Synopsis Examination of Choice Overload During Stimulus Preference Assessments by : Jeffrey R. Miller
Download or read book Examination of Choice Overload During Stimulus Preference Assessments written by Jeffrey R. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice overload is characterized by individuals experiencing a decrease in preference strength and satisfaction (Chemey, 2003) in conjunction with increases in disappointment and regret regarding a chosen option (Schwartz, 2000). Choice overload has been examined in a variety of situations, however choice overload has not been examined with individuals with developmental disabilities or during stimulus preference assessments. While extensive research has been conducted regarding stimulus preference assessments, no research has been conducted evaluating the most effective number of items to use during preference assessments. The purpose of the present study was to compare using six and 18 item arrays during a multiple stimulus without replacement preference assessment, to evaluate the accuracy of both procedures with a reinforcer assessment, and to evaluate the behavior of participants for characteristics of choice overload during the preference and reinforcer assessments. The results of the present study suggest that the results between the six and 18 item preference assessments are strongly consistent; however the six item assessments overestimated the reinforcer efficacy of numerous items in comparison to the 18 item preference assessment. The results also suggest that two participants displayed characteristics associated with choice overload and that a certain level of cognitive functioning may be required for choice overload to occur.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Effectiveness of Reinforcers Identified Via Multiple-stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments by : Christopher Aaron Tullis
Download or read book An Analysis of the Effectiveness of Reinforcers Identified Via Multiple-stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments written by Christopher Aaron Tullis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Preference assessment methodologies have been demonstrated to effectively identify reinforcers for individuals with moderate to intensive disabilities, but the primary method of validating assessment outcomes has been to measure the occurrence of a simple operant response (e.g., card exchange). The effectiveness of a stimulus to function as a reinforcer for a simple operant response may not generalize to more complex responses (e.g., dressing). This investigation presents an exploration of the reinforcing effectiveness of stimuli identified using a preference assessment in basic and complex arrangements for three adolescent males with moderate to intensive disabilities. An MSWO was conducted to identify high- (HP) and low-preference (LP) stimuli. Next, a basic reinforcer assessment was used to determine if the identified HP and LP stimuli functioned as reinforcers with a simple operant response (i.e., card exchange). The item identified as a reinforcer with a simple operant response was then tested using a complex operant response (i.e., discrimination). Data indicated that for one participant, the items identified as HP were not reinforcers under either basic or complex arrangements. For one participant, the HP item was a reinforcer in the basic assessment, but not in the complex assessment. For the last participant, the item identified as a reinforcer maintained effectiveness under both basic and complex assessments.
Book Synopsis Analysis of Positional Bias Within Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments by : David Ray Gutierrez Miranda
Download or read book Analysis of Positional Bias Within Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessments written by David Ray Gutierrez Miranda and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positional bias is a pattern of responding to a specific location that can be influenced by response effort and/or prior learning history. Within the contexts of preference assessments, positional bias create additional variables that make ascertaining true preferences within a preference assessment more difficult. Prior research on positional bias within preference assessments have focused primarily on its use in paired stimulus assessments due to the complex nature of the multiple-stimulus without replacement preference assessment. The present study is a secondary analysis that utilized four different methods to measure side bias and center bias for 19 young children with autism spectrum disorders. Results indicate that participants had varying degrees of biased responding but collectively engaged in little biased responding. Present study includes discussion of general patterns of responding, an analysis of the four methodologies, and general recommendations for the application of these methodologies.
Book Synopsis Web-based Stimulus Preference Assessment and Reinforcer Assessments for Videos by : Hugo Curiel
Download or read book Web-based Stimulus Preference Assessment and Reinforcer Assessments for Videos written by Hugo Curiel and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stimulus preference assessments and reinforcer assessments are integral components of positive reinforcement-based interventions. Web-based brief multiple-stimulus without replacement (MSWO) preference assessments have recently been shown to be effective in identifying preference hierarchies for videos (Curiel, Curiel, Li, Deochand, & Poling, 2018). The purpose of the current studies was to replicate Curiel et al.'s web-based MSWO assessment and assess the reinforcing function of the highest and lowest identified stimuli using novel web-based reinforcer assessments. Study 1 employed single-operant arrangements (SOAs) and Study 2 employed concurrent-operants arrangements (COAs) to assess the absolute and relative reinforcing function of the identified stimuli, respectively. The web-based MSWO was effective in identifying stimulus preferences hierarchies in both studies. Furthermore, the highest-preferred stimuli functioned as reinforcers in both arrangements. The findings, limitations, and areas of future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The results of a function-based multiple stimuli without replacement (MSWO) assessment and a paired-choice assessment (PC) were compared to determine whether the same stimuli options were identified. The two assessment procedures were conducted in a school setting with three participants who engaged in frequent problem behavior. An Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) served as the therapist for all phases of the assessments. Both the PC and MSWO assessment procedures identified the same stimuli option for all three participants. Strengths and limitations of the study are discussed as well as suggestions for future research."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis A Comparison of Engagement-based Stimulus Preference Assessments (SPA) by : Rebecca Duke
Download or read book A Comparison of Engagement-based Stimulus Preference Assessments (SPA) written by Rebecca Duke and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preference assessments are effective assessments that can be used to determine preferences for individuals with developmental disabilities. The two preference assessment methods are: approach-based and engagement-based. Engagement-based preference assessments are shorter in duration and associated with fewer problem behaviors when compared to approach-based assessments. The two types of engagement-based preference assessments are single-stimulus and multiple-stimulus engagement preference assessments. The current study compared outcomes of the single-stimulus engagement (SSE) and multiple-stimulus engagement (MSE) preference assessment methods to determine reinforcing value of the items identified during both assessments and occurrences of problem behavior. The results of the preference assessments also demonstrated that the MSE preference assessment was associated with lower occurrences of problem behavior in comparison to the SSE preference assessment. Also, the reinforcer assessments demonstrated that items never engaged with during the MSE preference assessment did act as moderately effective reinforcers for all four participants. The items engaged with at moderate to high levels during the SSE preference assessment did not act as effective reinforcers for two out of the four participants when tested for reinforcing value. There are several limitations that may have contributed to the findings that are discussed..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preference assessments are procedures used to identify potentially reinforcing stimuli. Preliminary evidence has shown a single-session multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) preference assessment to be an effective and efficient method for identifying reinforcer hierarchies. The present study further evaluated the efficacy and efficiency of a single-session MSWO preference assessment with three adolescent special education students. Following a single preference assessment session, a reinforcer assessment was conducted to evaluate the resulting reinforcer hierarchy. In addition, two additional reinforcer assessment sessions were conducted over a period of a week to examine the stability of the MSWO reinforcer hierarchies. Results from the single operant reinforcer assessment sessions indicated reinforcer hierarchies were accurate for all participants and stable for 2 out of 3 participants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Three children with mental retardation and/or autism participated in a study evaluating the reinforcing effectiveness of moderate- and low-preference stimuli. Nine full array Multiple-Stimulus Without Replacement (MSWO) preference assessments were conducted assessing tangible and edible stimuli. The items categorized as moderate- and low-preference using the Ciccone, Graff, and Ahearn (2005) point weighting scoring method were reassessed. The items ranked high-, moderate-, and low-preference from the assessments were then evaluated during the reinforcer assessments. An alternating treatments design was implemented and data were compared to baseline using an A-B design. Two participants' responding increased as the low-, moderate-, and high-preference reinforcement contingencies were implemented. For one participant, the moderate- and high-preference stimuli produced responding at 100%. One participant had minimal responding relative to baseline across all three stimuli. This study extends previous research by demonstrating the MSWO is an effective and efficient technique to identify reinforcers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study replicated the response-restriction free-operant procedures of Hanley et al. (2003) and expanded their study by comparing the results to that of a paired choice and multiple stimulus without replacement preference assessments. I also compared the results to a modified version of the Hanley et al. procedures. A statistical analysis was conducted with the hierarchies identified from each assessment using the Spearman Rank order to measure the correlation within and across participants. Finally, I analyzed the results of 32 free operant preference assessments to identify at what point preference was identifiable.
