This comprehensive guide includes the following:
C.1. Create operational definitions of behavior.
C.2. Distinguish among direct, indirect, and product measures
of behavior.
C.3. Measure occurrence.
C.4. Measure temporal dimensions of behavior (e.g., duration,
latency, interresponse time).
C.5. Distinguish between continuous and discontinuous
measurement procedures.
C.6. Design and apply discontinuous measurement procedures
(e.g., interval recording, time sampling).
C.7. Measure efficiency (e.g., trials to criterion, cost-benefit
analysis, training duration).
C.8. Evaluate the validity and reliability of
measurement procedures.
C.9. Select a measurement procedure to obtain representative
data that accounts for the critical dimension of the behavior
and environmental constraints.
C.10. Graph data to communicate relevant quantitative relations
(e.g., equal-interval graphs, bar graphs, cumulative records).
C.11. Interpret graphed data.
C.12. Select a measurement procedure to obtain
representative procedural integrity data that accounts
for relevant dimensions (e.g., accuracy, dosage) and
environmental constraints
