We evaluated a brief multiple-stimulus preference assessment
within the context of an early intervention program for 3
children who had been diagnosed with autism. Subsequent
curriculum-based reinforcer evaluations confirmed the predictions
of the preference assessments. In addition, eight additional
preference assessments that were conducted over a period of 1
month indicated generally stable preferences for 2 of the 3
participants.
