J Appl Behav Anal. 2000 Spring;33(1):93-6. doi: 10.1901/jaba.2000.33-93.

Abstract

The effects of choice and no choice of stimuli as reinforcement for task responding were investigated across preschoolers with and without disabilities. Five less preferred stimuli were identified for each participant using a stimulus preference assessment. No differences were found for choice and no-choice conditions when the less preferred stimuli were used as reinforcers.
