What is commonly recorded during a single stimulus preference assessment?

During a single stimulus preference assessment, the duration of interest in a single item is recorded. This type of assessment involves presenting one item at a time to the individual and observing how long they interact with or show interest in it. The primary goal is to identify which items are preferred based on the amount of time the individual engages with each presented item. This method helps in understanding individual preferences, which can be utilized in developing effective reinforcement strategies in behavior interventions.

While the choices made between two stimuli and the items presented for selection are relevant in other types of preference assessments, they do not apply to a single stimulus assessment, which focuses solely on the response to one item at a time. Recording responses from peers does not pertain to a single stimulus preference assessment, as the assessment is concerned only with the individual's interaction with the specific stimuli provided.
