The development of graphing skills for behavior analysts is an ongoing process. Specialized graphing software is often expensive, is not widely disseminated, and may require specific training. Dixon et al. (2009) provided an updated task analysis for graph making in the widely used platform Excel 2007. Vanselow and Bourret (2012) provided online tutorials that outline some alternate methods also using Office 2007. This article serves as an update to those task analyses and includes some alternative and underutilized methods in Excel 2013. To examine the utility of our recommendations, 12 psychology graduate students were presented with the task analyses, and the experimenters evaluated their performance and noted feedback. The task analyses were rated favorably.
行为分析师绘图技能的发展是一个持续的过程。专门的绘图软件通常价格昂贵,传播不广泛,并且可能需要特定的培训。迪克森等人(2009年)为在广泛使用的Excel 2007平台上制作图表提供了更新的任务分析。万塞洛和布雷特(2012年)提供了在线教程,概述了一些同样使用Office 2007的替代方法。本文是对这些任务分析的更新,并包括Excel 2013中的一些替代方法和未充分利用的方法。为了检验我们建议的实用性,向12名心理学研究生展示了任务分析,实验者评估了他们的表现并记录了反馈。任务分析得到了好评。
