A comparison of accumulated and distributed reinforcement periods with children exhibiting escape-maintained problem behavior.

abstract：:Various statistics have been proposed as standard methods for calculating and reporting interobserver agreement scores. The advantages and disadvantages of each have been discussed in this journal recently but without resolution. A formula is presented that combines separate measures of occurrence and nonoccurrence pe...
