The observational technique described involves systematically coding the child's behavior at regular intervals, indicating that it is systematic observation. Naturalistic observation involves observing behavior in a natural setting without manipulation, and methodological observation is not a commonly used term. Reactive observation refers to behavior changing due to the presence of the observer, but this is not described in the scenario.
