Abstract

An event recorder for use in ethological studies which is of simple and inexpensive construction is described. The apparatus consists essentially of a constant speed paper transport device and an ethogram sheet holder. Up to 20 different behavioral items may be recorded continuously in an accurate time sequence. The items are coded as hand-drawn pencil lines of different length perpendicular to the direction of the paper movement. Since the ethogram code sheets are exchangeable, an unlimited number of different ethograms may be used.

摘要

本文描述了一种用于行为学研究的事件记录器，其结构简单且成本低廉。该装置主要由一个恒速纸张传输装置和一个行为图表纸夹组成。多达20种不同的行为项目可以按照准确的时间顺序连续记录。这些项目被编码为与纸张移动方向垂直的不同长度的手绘铅笔线。由于行为图表代码表是可更换的，因此可以使用无限数量的不同行为图表。
