Data Collection Methods
Steps:
1) Determine a specific time period to observe
2) Divide into equal intervals
a. Intervals are no longer than 30 seconds
3) Draw a series of boxes that represent intervals
4) In each box simply mark if the behavior does or does not occur (+ or -) (O or X)
a. Partial Interval: mark if the behavior occurs at any point during the interval
b. Whole Interval: only mark if the behavior occurs for the entire interval
