Line graphs that average response frequency over long periods obscure the major rate changes that indicate sources of behavioral control. A scatter plot can make patterns of responding identifiable and, in turn, suggest environmental features that occasion undesirable behavior. Use of scatter diagrams is illustrated in three cases.
长期平均反应频率的折线图掩盖了表明行为控制来源的主要速率变化。散点图可以使反应模式变得可识别,进而提示引发不良行为的环境特征。文中通过三个案例说明了散点图的使用情况。
