Whole Interval Recording
when the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded.
Momentary Time Sampling
when the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.

Four Functions of Behavior
Social Negative (escape), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation), Social Positive
(attention/access), and Automatic Positive (sensory stimulation)
Example of Social Negative (Escape)
A client gets out of his seat every time a demand is placed. when he gets out of his seat
his teacher says, "Oh you need a break", and does not follow through with her demand.
, Example of Automatic Negative (Pain attenuation)
A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work times, when he is on a
break, when he is playing with his favorite toys, during meal times, when you or
someone else directly engaged with him, and even when he is by himself. One day
mom brings the client back from the dentist where he had to get 6 cavities filled. After
this dentist appointment the spitting stopped.
Example of Social Positive (Attention/access)
Every time his mother removes items from him, a client engages in a tantrum. Mom tries
to ignore him but after around five minutes mom give him back the item she removed
and the tantrum immediately stops.
Example of Social Positive (Attention/Access)
A client hits other students in is class during break times. Each time he hits another
student the teacher immediately provides a verbal reprimand.
Example of Automatic Positive (Sensory stimulation)
You work with a client who drops legos on the floor for hours if left alone. The client
does this even if other are playing with him, when no demands are being placed, and
when given free access to a number of preferred toys.
