Fifteen individuals with developmental disabilities participated in multiple‐stimulus without replacement preference assessments (seven assessment sessions, seven trials each). Twelve of 15 individuals completed a second set of preference assessments 6 months later. Post hoc analyses indicated that in 25 of 27 cases, the same most preferred stimulus was identified in the first three trials as the full seven trials. Additionally, five sessions of three trials each were sufficient to identify the most highly preferred stimulus in 22 of 27 instances. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
