Anne R. Cummings and James E. Carr has published an interesting study in Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis regarding measurement in behavioral programs for children with autism.

The study compares continuous and discontiniuous measurement in behavioral programs. Continuous measurement involves collecting data on child response and prompt level on every trail in teaching sessions, while discontiniuous measurement involves that date are recorded for a subset of learning trails. Ex. the first or the last or both.

The results reveal some interesting aspects that could guide program managers and developers to become more effective in the data collection and increase learning within their program.
