“…To identify preferred items or activities, direct preference assessments were used in 14 experiments (Betz et al., 2010; Endicott & Higbee, 2007; Ingvarsson et al., 2007; Kahlow et al., 2019; Landa et al., 2017; Shillingsburg et al., 2011, 2014, 2016, 2019; Sundberg et al., 2002; Pyles et al., 2021) and both direct and indirect preference assessments were used in eight experiments (Carnett et al., 2020; Howlett et al., 2011; Ingvarsson & Hollobaugh, 2010; Lechago et al., 2010, 2013; Marion et al., 2011; Somers et al., 2014). The authors of six experiments reported using indirect assessments (Marion, Martin, Yu, Buhler, & Kerr, 2012; Roy‐Wsiaki et al., 2010; Shillingsburg & Valentino, 2011; Patil et al., 2021; Williams et al., 2003), with one of those experiments (Williams et al., 2003) identifying objects that were aversive to the participants rather than reinforcing. Furthermore, in four experiments (Jessel & Ingvarsson, 2021; Landa et al., 2020; Valentino et al., 2019; Williams et al., 2000) the authors did not utilize preference assessments to identify reinforcing tangibles, edibles, or activities, and in two experiments (Carnett & Ingvarsson, 2016; Shillingsburg et al., 2018) the authors only provided information for mands for information.…”
