ABA glossary

Selection percentage

In a preference assessment, the number of times an item was chosen divided by the number of times it was offered, times 100. Items are ranked by this percentage.

Example from a session

Bubbles were offered 8 times and chosen 6 times, for a selection percentage of 75%.
