title: An adaptable microcomputer program for monitoring behavior.
abstract: We describe an improvement of a flexible and easy to use program for monitoring and recording behavior durations with IBM-compatible microcomputers and a companion program that provides additional versatility for handling data. Up to 35 behaviors or events can be monitored, and processing speed is fast enough to measure even very rapidly performed behaviors. No specialized hardware is required, and the data files that are created are compatible with commercially available software packages for statistical analysis.
