Abstract
Abstract Choice involves engaging in a selection response when multiple options are concurrently available. Choices can be incorporated into many components of behavior‐analytic treatment such as providing clients with a choice between multiple items, activities, or tasks. We reviewed the main characteristics of 38 behavior‐analytic articles that compared choice and no‐choice conditions. We coded the experimental arrangements of choice and no‐choice conditions and analyzed potential factors affecting preferences for choice and no choice. The findings suggest that the sizing of alternatives from which to choose, the timing of choice opportunities, and the timing of the delivery of the chosen option varied across the studies. Furthermore, preferences for choice shifted with differential reinforcement history and response effort manipulations of choice or no choice. The findings suggest that individual variables should be considered when providing choices, but more research is needed.
