Intervals should not be longer than 30 seconds. The shorter the interval, the more accurate the data.
Partial Interval Recording: Recording occurrences of discrete behaviors such as cursing or hitting, is known as partial interval recording. The behavior does not consume the entire interval. Not as accurate as event recording. You record the behavior if it occurs at any time during the interval.
Whole Interval Recording: Recording occurrences of continual behaviors, such as being out of seat, or on- or off-task, may begin in one interval and continue into the next interval. To record continual behaviors, use whole interval recording, i.e., score the interval if the behavior is observed for the entire interval.
From the data, the observer can infer either the (a) approximate number of occurrences of the behavior, (b) approximate duration of the behavior, and (c) distribution of the behavior across the observation period.
(See page 119, Figure 4-12 in text for interval recording form with scoring interludes.)
