An observer uses momentary time sampling and checks at the end of each interval. The behavior occurred earlier in an interval but had stopped by the check. What should the observer record for that check?

  1. A

    Mark the interval because the behavior happened at some point during it.

  2. B

    Mark the interval only if the behavior occurred throughout the entire interval.

  3. C

    Do not mark the behavior as happening at the check; it had stopped before that moment.

  4. D

    Record the number of times the behavior occurred during the interval.

07
True or false

Whole-interval recording tends to underestimate behavior because an interval is marked only when the behavior occurs throughout the entire interval.

  1. A

    True

  2. B

    False

One observation records 12 occurrences in 30 minutes; another records 15 occurrences in 2 hours. Which observation has the higher rate?

  1. A

    The 12 occurrences in 30 minutes

  2. B

    The 15 occurrences in 2 hours

  3. C

    The two observations have equal rates

  4. D

    The rates cannot be compared because the observation times differ

  1. A

    Mark the interval if the behavior occurs at any time during it.

  2. B

    Mark the interval only if the behavior occurs throughout the entire interval.

  3. C

    Mark whether the behavior is occurring at the end of the interval.

  2. B

    The technician can observe every response continuously.

  3. C

    The target behavior occurs only at a specific moment in each interval.

  4. D
