A preliminary comparison of reinforcer assessment methods for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

J Northup et al. J Appl Behav Anal. 1995 Spring.

Abstract

We evaluated the relative treatment utility of a verbal forced-choice questionnaire, child nomination, and direct observation for identifying the most potent reinforcers for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Results demonstrated that all three methods were more likely to disagree than to agree, that a forced-choice format may enhance verbal reinforcer assessment, and that further development and evaluation of verbal reinforcer-assessment methods are needed.
