This article introduces a taxonomy based on a procedural operations analysis (Verplanck, 1996) of various method descriptions found in the behavior observation research literature. How these alternative procedures impact the recording and subsequent analysis of behavioral events on the basis of the type of time and behavior recordings made is also discussed. The taxonomy was generated as a foundation for the continuing development of an expert training system called Train-to-Code (TTC; J. M. Ray & Ray, (Behavior Research Methods 40:673-693, 2008)). Presently in its second version, TTC V2.0 is software designed for errorless training (Terrace, (Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior 6:1-27, 1963)) of student accuracy and fluency in the direct observation and coding of behavioral or verbal events depicted via digital video. Two of 16 alternative procedures classified by the taxonomy are presently modeled in TTC's structural interface and functional services. These two models are presented as illustrations of how the taxonomy guides software user interface and algorithm development. The remaining 14 procedures are described in sufficient operational detail to allow similar model-oriented translation.
本文介绍了一种基于程序操作分析（Verplanck，1996）的分类法，对行为观察研究文献中各种方法描述进行了分析。还讨论了这些替代程序如何根据所做的时间和行为记录的类型，影响行为事件的记录和后续分析。该分类法是作为一个名为“Train-to-Code（TTC；J.M.Ray 和 Ray，（行为研究方法 40：673-693，2008））”的专家培训系统的持续开发的基础而生成的。目前，TTC 已经进入了第二个版本，TTC V2.0 是一款软件，旨在通过数字视频呈现的行为或语言事件的直接观察和编码，对学生的准确性和流畅性进行无错误训练（Terrace，（实验分析行为杂志 6：1-27，1963））。在分类法中分类的 16 种替代程序中的两种，目前在 TTC 的结构界面和功能服务中建模。这两个模型作为如何指导软件用户界面和算法开发的示例进行了介绍。其余 14 种程序以足够的操作细节进行了描述，以允许类似面向模型的翻译。
