Previous researchers have used stimulus preference assessment (SPA) methods to identify salient reinforcers for individuals with developmental disabilities including tangible, leisure, edible and olfactory stimuli. In the present study, SPA procedures were used to identify potential auditory reinforcers and determine the reinforcement value of preferred and non-preferred auditory stimuli. The results from this study suggest that the paired stimulus procedure utilized was effective in identifying preferred and non-preferred auditory stimuli, as the contingent application of the identified auditory stimuli produced higher rates of correct responding than did non-preferred auditory stimuli for all participants.
先前的研究人员已经使用刺激偏好评估（SPA）方法来为发育障碍个体确定显著的强化物，包括有形的、休闲的、可食用的和嗅觉刺激。在本研究中，SPA程序被用于识别潜在的听觉强化物，并确定偏好和非偏好听觉刺激的强化价值。本研究的结果表明，所采用的配对刺激程序在识别偏好和非偏好听觉刺激方面是有效的，因为对于所有参与者而言，所识别出的听觉刺激的偶然应用比非偏好听觉刺激产生了更高的正确反应率。
