Paired Stimulus Preference Assessment 

In the video above, the instructor is conducting a paired stimulus preference assessment with toys. Paired stimulus assessments allow you to determine a child’s preference hierarchy from a select group of items. Sometimes (but not always), a child’s highest-preferred items can be used to reinforce his or her appropriate behaviors. Although paired stimulus assessments are more time-consuming than MSWOs and MSWs, they are appropriate for children who do not consistently scan a large array and make a choice based on preference. Typically, preference assessments with toys and with edibles are conducted separately.
