For partial interval recording, the event does not need to occur for the entire interval. It must only occur at some point during the interval. Therefore, however, partial interval recording often leads to an overestimated time for the behavior. This overestimate can make the data slightly unreliable. We decided to use an interval recording because, if the student’s behavior was recorded multiple times, it would allow the teacher and/or the recorder clearly identify any patters amongst the child’s behavior based on the timing of
