Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of response effort, no velty of stimulus arrangement, and choice on selecting behavior of an indiv idual with profound mental retardation in a vocational setting. Data showed that: (a) novelty of stimulus array, not response effort, affected selecti ng behavior, and (b) choice affects behavior only to the extent that prefer red outcomes are attained. Results are discussed in relation to matching th eory.
