Question 9

What is free operant pF?

Answer 9

A free operant preference assessment involves setting up an area with a selection of toys/games or other tangible items. An observation of the child is then carried out. Data should be taken on whether the child approaches an item, if the child engages with the item and the duration the child plays with it.

Question 10

Why use free operant PF?

Answer 10

A free operant preference assessment might be used when you first meet a client or pupil (preliminary assessment), if a child does not yet have the skills to make a choice, if a child engages in very challenging behaviour when items are taken away from him/her or if you notice a child only selects from one side or side bias.

Question 11

Disadvantages of free operant PF

Answer 11

The downside to this assessment is that the child might only play with one item for the whole of the predetermined observation period. This does not give you a full spectrum of other reinforces that might motivate the child.

Question 12

What is a paired PF

Answer 12

A paired choice assessment is used to create a hierarchy of the child’s preferences. It involves showing the child two items, these usually are toys or edibles, and asking them to make a choice

Question 13

Why use paired choice PF

Answer 13

This assessment should not be used if a child does not yet have the skills to make a choice, unable to scan two or more items on a surface, if a child engages in very challenging behaviour when items are taken away from him/her or if you notice a child only selects from one side or side bias.

Question 14

Disadvantages of Paired PF

Answer 14

The downside of this assessment is that it can be quite time consuming as it requires more trials.

Question 15

What is a MSWO

Answer 15

The assessment involves placing up to 7 items in front of the child and asking them to make a choice. Once they have spent time with that item or eaten the edible, it is removed, and they are asked to make another choice. This process is completed until there are no items left. The items that are chosen first would be the highest preferred items.

Question 16

Why use a MSWO

Answer 16

This assessment should not be used if a child does not yet have the skills to make a choice, unable to scan two or more items on a surface, or if a child engages in very challenging behaviour when items are taken away from him/her.

Question 17

What is a MSW

Answer 17

This is a more time consuming assessment than the MSWO but the child will always have the option of choosing the same toy/edible. The assessment is complete when a set number of trials for each item has been presented or the child refuses to make any more choices
