A review. %V 30 %X A PsycINFO search was conducted on all articles published prior to June, 2001 to identify studies concerning the effects of choice opportunities for persons with developmental disabilities. Seven studies were reviewed that attempted to separate the effects of choice from the effects of preference by comparing behaviour during performance of a chosen task with behaviour during performance of that same task when it was assigned. Across all seven studies, a total of 23 children and adults with developmental disabilities participated. Fourteen of those individuals did not show a choice effect, and nine individuals did show a choice effect. Factors that may be correlated with a choice effect are discussed. A behavioural explanation of a choice effect is proposed that accounts for the inconsistent effects of choice identified in this review and that has implications for the design of future research.
