We evaluated the extent to which access duration during stimulus preference assessments affects preschool‐age children's preferences for leisure items. Results demonstrated that rankings for highly preferred items remained similar across both short‐ and long‐access durations; however, overall preference hierarchies remained more similar across administrations of long‐access‐duration assessments than short‐access‐duration assessments.
