Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Psychology
  • Applied Behavior Analysis
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Assessing preferences is crucial for effective behavioral interventions.
  • Traditional preference assessments can be time-consuming.
  • Digital tools offer potential for efficient preference and reinforcer assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate two web-based programs for identifying video preferences and assessing reinforcing effects.
  • To determine the predictive validity of the Multiple-Stimulus-Without-Replacement Preference Assessment Tool (MSWO PAT).
  • To explore the utility of conjugate schedules in reinforcer assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the MSWO PAT to establish video preference hierarchies in seven children (ages 4-11).
  • Employed a custom reinforcer assessment program with concurrent-chains and conjugate schedules.
  • Participants' button presses adjusted video quality (volume, opacity) in real-time.

Main Results:

  • The MSWO PAT demonstrated predictive value for five out of seven participants.
  • The conjugate schedule approach efficiently identified reinforcing effects of videos.
  • Web-based tools facilitated rapid preference and reinforcer assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Web-based preference and reinforcer assessments are viable alternatives.
  • The MSWO PAT shows promise but may require parameter adjustments.
  • Conjugate schedules offer an efficient method for evaluating reinforcer efficacy.
