Objectivity in behavior measurement is a defining feature of behavior analysis. With the increased accessibility of technology, there has been an increase in electronic data collection methods, which carry several advantages, such as ease of data transformation and transfer from electronic outputs (e.g., Microsoft Excel files). Countee is an electronic data collection application that has been named in over 30 articles in behavior-analytic journals. It is available for free on both iOS- and Android-based smartphones in multiple countries. The application allows for the programming of both frequency and duration keys, which can be used to derive additional measures. Despite its use in behavior analytic research and practice, a tutorial has not yet been published on the application. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to outline its features, provide instructions on its use, data transformations and calculations, and describe its benefits to ease replication and disseminate its use.
行为测量的客观性是行为分析的一个决定性特征。随着技术的日益普及，电子数据收集方法有所增加，这些方法具有若干优点，例如数据转换和从电子输出（如Microsoft Excel文件）传输的便利性。Countee是一款电子数据收集应用程序，在行为分析期刊上有30多篇文章提及。它在多个国家的基于iOS和安卓的智能手机上均可免费使用。该应用程序允许对频率和持续时间键进行编程，可用于得出其他测量结果。尽管它在行为分析研究和实践中得到了应用，但尚未有关于该应用程序的教程发表。因此，本文的目的是概述其功能，提供使用说明、数据转换和计算方法，并描述其有助于简化复制和推广使用的优点。
