Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The described method is interval recording, which involves dividing the observation period into smaller intervals of time and recording whether the behavior occurred or not during each interval. This allows for better accuracy in determining the occurrence and frequency of the behavior. Product recording involves recording the end product of the behavior rather than its occurrence, continuous recording involves recording the behavior continuously throughout the observation period, and time sample recording involves recording the behavior during predetermined intervals of time.
