Time-out frequency? Nah, that's more like a measure of the researchers' patience than the participants' behavior.

Haha, frequency of reinforcer delivery? What is this, a study on how often the researchers can give themselves pats on the back?

I think frequency of hitting others is the way to go. That's the behavior they're trying to reduce, so it makes sense to measure that directly.

The frequency of the incompatible behavior is the best response measure to use here. It directly captures the behavior the study is trying to address.
