The concurrent chains arrangement (click here for graphic) is a powerful preference assessment that has been used for over 20 years in behavior analysis research and practice. However, it has always been used in a multiple stimulus arrangement. That is, the initial links (simple stimuli) were always placed on the table, in an array of however many stimuli were present. For example, all 5 color cards were placed on the table, and the client would scan and observe all of them. Basile and colleagues dared to ask the essential question... "Could this be better?" They compared the traditional format to a new initial link presentation and used the paired stimulus format for initial link presentation. This should result in saved time, but do the hierarchies identified match? Read or listen to this one to see one of my personal favorite research questions, which takes a clinical assessment and makes it better. This is similar to Morris and Vollmer (2021) when they asked how they could make their social function assessment more efficient.
