Preference assessments without the spreadsheet

Reinforcer selection should be data, not habit. Set up your items, run the format that fits the learner, and get a ranked hierarchy you can actually use when you build the program.

The free tier covers the core timing and tally tools; the rest of the toolkit is included with a paid plan.

What it does

  • Paired-choice, multiple stimulus without replacement, and single-stimulus formats
  • Build and edit item lists per learner
  • Results ranked into a preference hierarchy
  • Assessments stay with the learner's profile for later comparison

How it works

  1. 1Add the items you are testing for this learner.
  2. 2Run the chosen assessment format and record each selection.
  3. 3Review the ranked hierarchy and update the reinforcer list.

Questions behavior analysts ask

Which preference assessment format should I start with?

MSWO is efficient for ranking several items at once. Paired choice gives a cleaner comparison between two items, and single stimulus is useful for learners who struggle with arrays.

Does a high-preference item always work as a reinforcer?

No. Preference assessments identify likely reinforcers, but reinforcement should still be confirmed by its effect on behavior.

Can I repeat an assessment to check for stability?

Yes, and keeping administrations on the learner's profile makes shifts in preference easy to see.

Tools that work with it

Run preference assessment without adding another app to your session bag

Every tool here shares the same learner records, session history, and export, so data collected in preference assessment is available everywhere else in your account.
