Abstract
"Current research suggests that non-behavior analysts are not able to accurately implement stimulus preference assessments (SPA) given written instructions, alone. However, training that includes written instructions supplemented with feedback from a professional with expertise in conducting SPAs has proven effective. Unfortunately, expert-facilitated, direct training may not be available to some clinicians and teachers. Thus, the first objective of the current sequence of investigations was to assess awareness and use of SPAs among practicing behavior analysts and special educators."
