A Precise and Valid Measure of Behavior and Behavior Change in the Classroom

Bersoff, Donald; Ericson, Colleen R.

Journal of School Psychology, 10, 4, 361-366, Dec 72

The method (behavior rates) using a base of movements per minute is seen as increasing the information obtained per unit of assessment time and providing daily feedback. (Author)
