Frequency - ANSWER The number of times a response occurs.
Rate - ANSWER Frequency data divided by some unit of time.
Percentage of occurrence - ANSWER Proportion of intervals in which the target behavior occurred or
proportion of correct to incorrect.
Duration - ANSWER Amount of time in which a behavior occurs.
Latency - ANSWER Time between onset of a stimulus and initiation of a response
