This study compared the effectiveness of a multiple‐stimulus‐without‐replacement (MSWO) preference assessment and teacher preference ranking in identifying reinforcers for use in a general education setting with typically developing elementary‐school children. The mean number of digits correctly answered was greater in the MSWO‐selected reward and the teacher‐selected reward conditions relative to the no‐reward condition for 2 of the 4 participants, but there were no differences between the MSWO‐selected and teacher‐selected reward conditions for any participant.
