What type of discontinuous measurement captures a behavior if it occurs at any time during a set interval?

The type of discontinuous measurement that captures a behavior if it occurs at any time during a set interval is known as Partial Interval Recording. This method involves observing whether the behavior occurs at any point within the designated interval. If the behavior occurs at least once during that period, it is marked as having occurred, regardless of how many times it actually occurred or for how long it lasted within that interval.

This approach is particularly useful when assessing behaviors that may not consistently manifest, allowing for a more flexible understanding of their occurrence. It is a widely used technique in various behavioral assessments and is beneficial for tracking behaviors that are of interest in applied behavior analysis (ABA).
