Behavioral coding systems involve recording the presence or absence of specific behaviors or symptoms over a period of time, often in 30-minute segments throughout the day. This information can then be used to assess the severity and frequency of the symptoms being experienced. Option A involves a more interpretative approach, while option C involves self-reporting and option D involves physiological measures, which are not typically used in behavioral coding.
