Which measurement procedure records whether a behavior occurs at the end of each interval?

The measurement procedure that records whether a behavior occurs at the end of each interval is known as Momentary Time Sampling. In this method, an observer checks at specific moments, typically at the end of a predetermined interval, to see if the behavior is occurring. This approach allows for the collection of data without the need to continuously observe the behavior throughout the entire interval, making it a more practical option in some settings.

In contrast, Whole Interval Recording requires that the behavior be observed throughout the entirety of the interval to be counted as occurring, whereas Partial Interval Recording indicates whether the behavior occurred at any time during the interval. Event Sampling focuses on recording each instance of a behavior as it occurs, rather than at the conclusion of intervals. Therefore, Momentary Time Sampling is uniquely designed to capture occurrences of behavior precisely at the end of defined time intervals.
