Abstract
Items that produced ambiguous results in an approach-based preference asses sment were reassessed using a duration-based assessment. The reinforcing ef fects of three items on free-operant responding were subsequently tested. T he results suggested that the duration-based assessment produced slightly m ore differentiated results and that predictions about reinforcer value, bas ed on this assessment, were accurate.
