Abstrakt: The effectiveness of an intervention is tied to the degree to which a program is implemented as described and the behavior analyst's ability to individualize the program based on client-specific factors. LeBlanc et al. (2020) found that training clinicians to use enhanced data sheets, which represent both the antecedent and response, resulted in greater procedural integrity when compared to standard data sheets. Additional benefits of enhanced data collection systems include the representation of potential error patterns, which may be used to modify the intervention program. The current study compared naïve participants' accuracy in predicting a client's performance when represented on standard and enhanced data sheets. Participants consistently identified error patterns on enhanced data sheets; however, performance did not differ across data collection methods when accurate responding or unpredictable controlling relations were shown. These findings suggest that enhanced measurement may facilitate the identification of error patterns during instruction for behavior analysts.
