Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency method involves counting the number of times a behavior occurs in a specified period of time. The duration method involves measuring the length of time a behavior occurs. The interval method involves dividing the observation period into intervals and recording whether the behavior occurs during each interval. The time sample method involves recording the occurrence of the behavior in predetermined time periods throughout the observation period. Therefore, the best choice is B for the given question.
