Partial Interval recording: Have a time period (1 min) broken down within 6 parts (10
seconds). Put a check if behavior happens AT ALL during interval.
Whole interval recording: Behavior has to happen for THE FULL 10 seconds.
Momentary time sampling: Only on the LAST SECOND- it can happen for 9 seconds,
but if stops on 10, does not count.
