Gadgets That Track and Trigger Behavior

This cluster shows how to build or buy cheap machines that watch, count, or reward every peck, sniff, or press an animal makes. The tools give super-clear numbers and pictures so you can see tiny changes in behavior that your eyes would miss. A BCBA can copy these same tricks to measure a child’s finger-tap, treat-self, or picture-touch with toys costing less than a pizza. Better data means faster decisions about what teaching step to try next.
