  1. Observational Recording SPED 583 March 2, 2006

  2. Types of Observational Recording • Event Recording • Interval Recording • Time Sampling • Duration Recording • Latency Recording • Anecdotal Records

  3. Event Recording • Counts the exact number of times the behavior occurs • Used for discrete behaviors

  4. Interval Recording • Define a specific time period • Between 10 minutes and 1 hour • Divide this time period of intervals no longer than 30 seconds • Record “y” if behavior occurred during interval • Record “n” if behavior did not occur during interval • Used for continuous behaviors

  5. Time Sampling • Select a time period • Divide the period into intervals measured in minutes • At the end of each interval record “y” if behavior is occurring and “n” if it is not • Useful for behaviors such as on-task, out-of-seat, thumb sucking

  6. Duration • Used for behaviors with identifiable beginning and end • Use second hand or stopwatch

  7. Latency • Used to determine length of time between request for a behavior and beginning of performance of behavior
