Frequency

Back 11

is when you can count the number of times a behavior occurs (e.g., Shane bit his fingernails 12 times in the class period)

Front 12

Intensity

Back 12

is when a behavior or the physical force involved in the behavior (e.g., Garth bench pressed 220 pounds)

Front 13

Latency

Back 13

is the speed of behavior from some event to the start of a behavior
