Abstract
The current study compared the differential effects of choice and no-choice conditions on skill acquisition, when provided as a consequence and when choice conditions involved the opportunity to choose from an array of items of varying levels of preference (high, moderate, and low preference). These effects were evaluated across four conditions: top preference choice, varying-level preference choice, no choice, and control. Additionally, the current study evaluated children's preferences for choicemaking opportunities among three children with autism spectrum disorder. Results indicated that the top preference choice condition increased treatment efficacy for two of the three participants, and two of the three participants demonstrated preference for choice-making opportunities
