Describing behavior with ratios of count and time is a popular measurement tactic in the field of behavior analysis. The paper examines some count and time ratios in order to determine what about behavior each describes and why one ratio may sometimes be more useful than another. In addition, the paper briefly considers some terminological issues, derived quantities, dimensional analysis, some advantages and disadvantages of ratios, and selection of useful quantities for measurement.
用计数与时间的比率来描述行为是行为分析领域一种流行的测量策略。本文研究了一些计数和时间比率,以确定它们各自描述了行为的哪些方面,以及为什么一种比率有时可能比另一种更有用。此外,本文还简要考虑了一些术语问题、导出量、量纲分析、比率的一些优缺点以及测量有用量的选择。
