classified as samples of the target behavior, but they do not measure every instance of
a behavior within the entire observation period. These types of measurement
procedures are used when it is too time-consuming to take continuous measurement
data.
What are the 3 types of Discontinuous Measurement? - Correct Answer✔️✔️-Partial
interval, whole interval, and momentary time sampling.
Partial Interval - Correct Answer✔️✔️-A type of discontinuous measurement that records
the presence or absence of a behavior during a brief interval of time. Intervals are
marked as positive if the target behavior occurred at any time during the interval, and
negative if the target behavior did not occur during the entire interval.
Example; take an interval of 30 seconds and look for hand flapping behavior. You would
mark a positive if the hand flapping behavior occurred at any point during the 30 second
intervals, and a negative if it did not.
Whole interval - Correct Answer✔️✔️-A discontinuous measurement procedure that
records the presence or absence of a behavior during the whole interval. Intervals are
marked as a positive if the target behavior occurred during the entire interval, and a
negative if the target behavior stopped at any time during the interval.
