    Assessment of preference for edible and leisure items in individuals with dementia
    (Wiley Online Library, 2013-09-02) Virués Ortega, Javier; Iwata, Brian A.; Nogales-González, Celia; Frades, Belén
    We conducted 2 studies on reinforcer preference in patients with dementia. Results of preference assessments yielded differential selections by 14 participants. Unlike prior studies with individuals with intellectual disabilities, all participants showed a noticeable preference for leisure items over edible items. Results of a subsequent analysis with 3 participants showed reinforcement effects when highly preferred items were delivered as consequences.
