Скачать или смотреть How to Preference Test Reinforcers for Training

Have you ever considered how the value of “value,” affects training? Have you ever wondered how to increase the diversity of objects that could be used as functional reinforcers to meet and maintain the motivations of your learner? If nodding your head, as in, “yes,” then keep reading.

There are many aspects that lead to successful (and fun) instances of training with the animals in your life. The aspect this post is exploring is that of how value and preference can affect motivations and in turn impact how engaged learners are in working to access available reinforcers. If the reinforcers are not valuable or preferential, then why would they inspire any behavioral expression?

If the reinforcers that you have been employing are coming up lacking or getting a stale reception, then it’s time to arrange for a preference assessment. Preference assessments can be arranged to offer valuable insights into what objects may work as functional reinforcers in certain instances.

The preference assessment seen in the provided videos is a paired preference assessment. This assessment starts with a certain number of objects, let’s say four different kinds of treats and offers those treats in pairs, one on the left side and the other on the right side, presented simultaneously. All possible combination of pairs are presented and the most preferred treats are those that assessed initially ate or accessed at the highest rate.

A wonderful resource for planning and arranging your own preference assessment is the article, A two-choice preference assessment with five cotton-top tamarins (Sanguinus odeipus), accessed at:
