Over 10 years have passed since the publication of Carr and Burkholder's (1998) technical article on how to construct single-subject graphs using Microsoft Excel. Over the course of the past decade, the Excel program has undergone a series of revisions that make the Carr and Burkholder paper somewhat difficult to follow with newer versions. The present article provides task analyses for constructing various types of commonly used single-subject design graphs in Microsoft Excel 2007. The task analyses were evaluated using a between-subjects design that compared the graphing skills of 22 behavior-analytic graduate students using Excel 2007 and either the Carr and Burkholder or newly developed task analyses. Results indicate that the new task analyses yielded more accurate and faster graph construction than the Carr and Burkholder instructions.
自 Carr 和 Burkholder(1998 年)发表关于如何使用 Microsoft Excel 构建单例图表的技术文章以来,已经过去了 10 多年。在过去的十年中,Excel 程序经历了一系列修订,使得 Carr 和 Burkholder 的论文在使用较新版本时有些难以理解。本文提供了在 Microsoft Excel 2007 中构建各种常用单例设计图表的任务分析。使用 22 名行为分析研究生的被试间设计对这些任务分析进行了评估,他们使用 Excel 2007 并分别使用 Carr 和 Burkholder 或新开发的任务分析进行了图表绘制。结果表明,新的任务分析比 Carr 和 Burkholder 的说明产生了更准确和更快的图表构建。
