What Data to Collect?

Data collection is based on the target behavior

Frequency -- How often does the behavior occur over a specific period of time? Proportion -- In what percentage of available opportunities did the behavior occur? Episode -- Was there an occurrence of the behavior during this period? Duration -- For how long did the behavior occur? Intensity -- To what degree was the behavior present?

Make the data as painless as possible

Use small counters. Start the day with a handful of paper clips or other small, light objects (plastic bingo discs might work, as would beans) in your right pocket. Each time you see the target behavior during the day, move a clip from the right pocket to the left. At the end of the day, total up the counters in your left pocket and record. Slap a removable label onto your thigh for an easy, portable tally or note sheet. No clipboards needed. Counters (like bus drivers or some golfers use) are very handy for tallying behaviors that occur quickly or in a variety of settings where hauling a clipboard around might not work well.
