Book Description
There is a lack of research in the literature surrounding the effect of access duration on the results of a preference assessment. In the current study, preference assessments with access durations of 30 s and 5 minutes were conducted with seven adults with intellectual disability. I conducted progressive ratio reinforcer assessments using the most preferred items according to the results of two independent series of preference assessments with varying post-choice access times: 30 s condition and 5 min. The results showed that most participants had more stable preferences in the 30 s condition second condition, as demonstrated by the smaller standard deviations obtained from the outcomes of the preference assessments. These findings support the use of brief preference assessments. There was a large amount of variation between the individual results of the participants, as some had consistently stable preferences, while others did not. Preference for the highly preferred items were more stable than the other items in the array for all of the participants, except one. This is consistent with and extends upon the findings of previous research. The mixed results indicate that while it is more likely for preferences to be more stable in the 30 s condition condition, others may show more stability with a longer postchoice access duration and that 5 minutes may not be enough to differentiate any effects of access duration on preference stability.

Book Description
This book examines theoretical considerations in the study of decision making as well as practical applications in social interpersonal domains for adolescents and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It provides a history of the study of decision making in individuals with IDD and examines emerging views on decision making from a positive psychology perspective. The book explores the role of decision making in self-determination as well as offers global perspectives on the rights and responsibilities of individuals with IDD to engage in independent decision making. It outlines a framework for the study of decision making in individuals with IDD, reviews research that addresses the role of culturally diverse influences on individual decision making, and examines likely consequences of the etiological bases of disability on decision-making profiles. Key areas of coverage include: · Critical role of basic processes of cognition, motivation and self-beliefs, affect and emotion, and various styles of decision making. · Applications of decision-making skills within family and community contexts, in personal and social relationships, during transition to adulthood and more independent lifestyles, and in successful community living. · Self-protective decision making by individuals in situations of abuse as well as in resisting peer victimization and bullying. · Decision-making parameters for enabling maximum participation in self-decision making, through shared and supported decision making in contexts such as health care, aging, and end-of-life decisions. · Research-based interventions to improve effective decision making in individuals with IDD. Decision Making by Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities is a must-have reference for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and other professionals in the fields of developmental and positive psychology, rehabilitation, social work, special education, occupational, speech and language therapy, public health, and healthcare policy.

Book Description
The present study evaluated the effectiveness of and preference for choice during a response-acquisition tasks with children who have a developmental disability. The conditions compared involved (a) delivery of a high-preferred item identified at the start of the study (high preferred), (b) delivery of a high-preferred item identified immediately prior to each session (pre-session), (c) delivery of a high-preferred item identified immediately following each session (post-session), and (d) no delivery of a high-preferred item (control). The results regarding effectiveness were inconclusive due to high levels of responding during the control condition. The results regarding choice showed both participants preferred the pre-session choice condition, and one participant also preferred the high-preferred condition.

Book Description
"This empirical research literature review was conducted in order to better understand the effects that students' choice and preference have on increasing academic performance rates and decreasing disruptive behaviors within classroom and residential settings for students with disabilities. 30 peer reviewed publications were included in this review and were organized into sections pertaining to instructional/material choice, task-sequence choice, preference/task choice, and consequence (reward) choice. Results from this study provide evidence that implementing choice and preference into the classroom setting can decrease disruptive classroom behavior while simultaneously increasing student work performance."--Leaf 4.
