Partial Interval Recording

A data collection method where a behavior is recorded if it occurs at any point during the interval.

PLA-CHECK

Momentary time sampling for groups.

Whole Interval Recording

A data collection method where a behavior is recorded only if it occurs throughout the entire interval.

Momentary Time Sampling

A data collection method where a behavior is recorded only if it's occurring at the end of the interval.

Study Notes

Discontinuous Data Collection Methods

  • Momentary Time Sampling (MTS): Records occurrences of behavior at the end of a specific interval, marking if the behavior is present at that precise moment.
  • Partial Interval Recording: Marks the behavior if it occurs at any point during the interval; can lead to overestimation of behavior.
  • Whole Interval Recording: Marks the behavior only if it occurs throughout the entire duration of the interval; tends to underestimate behavior occurrence.

Important Concepts

  • PLA-CHECK: Recognized for underestimating behavior, indicating a potential limitation in certain observation methods.
  • MTS for Groups: Utilizes the PLA-CHECK method to monitor the behavior of groups, characterized as a headcount approach.

General Observations

  • Whole interval recording is associated with conservative estimates of behavior, meaning it more likely misses short occurrences.
  • Partial interval recording is likely to provide inflated behavior counts, due to its measurement approach.
