Continuous recording involves recording every instance of a behavior as it occurs, without any breaks or interruptions during the observation period. Interval recording involves dividing the observation period into smaller intervals and recording whether the behavior occurred during each interval. Time-sampling involves observing the behavior only during specific time intervals or random times within the observation period. Fixed-duration recording involves observing and recording the behavior for a set duration of time, regardless of how many times the behavior occurs. Therefore, the best choice for recording every instance of a behavior during a specified time segment is continuous recording (Choice D).
