The purpose of this study was to replicate Fleming et al. (2010) by examining the use of eye gaze in identifying reinforcers for 3 individuals with severe multiple disabilities. Preference was measured in a paired‐choice stimulus preference assessment using duration of eye gaze to determine stimulus selection. A subsequent reinforcer assessment used a reversal design to test the reinforcing effects of the high‐ and low‐preference stimuli. The results replicated Fleming et al., indicating that using eye gaze as a selection method successfully identified reinforcing stimuli.
