Computer-based digital picture preference assessment tests may have boundaries over table-top formats, such as time and effort economy and reduction of manual error. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of a computer-based digital picture preference assessment with 14 children with typical development and nine with intellectual disabilities. Two preference assessment formats were conducted to compare preference hierarchies generated with digital pictures and tangible items. These formats included presenting digital pictures in a computer screen and tangible items on a table. Results of the preference assessments indicated that the two methods yielded same top-ranked items for most participants. Many variables still need to be scrutinized in further experimental studies. The implications of these results for digital stimulus preference assessments are discussed.
