Question

Event recording involves counting the number of times a specific behavior occurs. In this case, Mrs. Tilger wants to record how many times Michael gets out of his seat, which is a discrete behavior that can be easily counted. Duration recording involves tracking the length of time a behavior occurs, latency recording involves tracking the time between a stimulus and a behavior, and interval recording involves tracking whether a behavior occurs within a set time interval. These methods may not be appropriate for tracking how many times Michael gets out of his seat.
