Abstract
The purpose of this discussion article was to suggest an alternative form of statistical analysis and graphical presentation within differential reinforcement procedures, such as FCT, that include a delay to reinforcement component, the rationale for which is thoroughly examined in this thesis. These methods offer contemporary solutions in order to increase the accuracy and efficacy of clinical treatment evaluation and decision making while limiting artifacts that occur due to common methods of response measurement used to increase a delay period. By including an accurate measurement for targeted alternative responding that can be displayed as a percentage on the same axis as problem behavior that includes a duration component, the visual analysis of the graph is clearer to read and understand.
