Using this form B.C.’s performance drawing a flower was observed and recorded over time. The data was transferred into a computer program where the results were analysed and displayed on statistical chart. The results of the research showed that B.C. acquired the ability to draw a flower independently after 13 sessions. Based on these results, further suggestions for research were made together with a discussion of potential applications for the method used in the study.
