Discontinuous measurement may refer to recording the occurrence of behavior when exhibited

(all of the above) during an entire interval. at a particular moment at the end of an interval. any time during an interval.

Time sampling data collection

(all of the above) is popular and frequently used. yields data that are reported as percentages. procedures have some inherent error.

If the data collector no longer has to observe for the remainder of the interval once they record the behavior, they are using a

a

Time sampling measurement refers to recording the occurrence of behavior when exhibited

during an entire interval, part of an interval, or at a particular moment at the end of an interval.

Which measurement procedures are listed from most accurate to least accurate for measuring discrete behaviors with consistent duration?

event recording, short partial-interval recording, long partial-interval recording, momentary time sampling

Continuous measurement refers to recording

every occurrence of a target behavior during a particular observation period.

Which of the following measures of behavior are recorded using continuous measurement procedures?

frequency, duration

An advantage of continuous measurement relative to discontinuous measurement is that it

is more accurate.

Momentary time sampling data collection

is used where the data collector cannot observe all of the time.

Which of the following are discontinuous measurement procedures?

momentary time sampling, partial and whole-interval recording

Whole-interval recording tends to

underestimate duration.

Partial-interval recording tends to

underestimate high frequency behavior.
