Practicing behavior analysts frequently assess and treat problem behavior as part of their ongoing job responsibilities. Effective measurement of problem behavior is critical to success in these activities because some measures of problem behavior provide more accurate and complete information about the behavior than others. However, not every measurement procedure is appropriate for every problem behavior and therapeutic circumstance. We summarize the most commonly used measurement procedures, describe the contexts for which they are most appropriate, and propose a clinical decision-making model for selecting measurement produces given certain features of the behavior and constraints of the therapeutic environment.
执业行为分析师经常将对问题行为的评估和处理作为其日常工作职责的一部分。对问题行为进行有效测量对于这些工作的成功至关重要，因为某些问题行为测量方法比其他方法能提供更准确、更完整的行为信息。然而，并非每种测量程序都适用于每种问题行为和治疗情境。我们总结了最常用的测量程序，描述了它们最适用的情境，并针对给定行为的某些特征和治疗环境的限制，提出了一个选择测量方法的临床决策模型。
