Abstract
Items that produced ambiguous results in an approach‐based preference assessment were reassessed using a duration‐based assessment. The reinforcing effects of three items on free‐operant responding were subsequently tested. The results suggested that the duration‐based assessment produced slightly more differentiated results and that predictions about reinforcer value, based on this assessment, were accurate.Keywords
