If you count "One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four" to the music, each quarter note arrow is stepped when you say each number. So, if you're counting right, for every 4-count, you should have 4 quarter-note steps.
The same system applies to eighth and sixteenth notes. Eight eighth notes per 4-count and 16 sixteenth notes per 4-count. Most of the time, you can distinguish between each beat-note by looking at the color of the arrow.
