ABSTRACT
As discussed in the preceding chapters, basic choices are made by researchers in the ways in which they choose to quantify behavior. In this chapter, I continue this discussion by describing some of the ways in which categories can be measured. By meas-ure, I mean different ways in which categories can be quantified. Specific measurement concerns covered include: frequency, duration, latency, pattern, and intensity. Then I will describe the ways in which the categories can be sampled from the stream of on-going behavior and then recorded. Issues of category independence are especially important for sampling, and will be discussed as well.
