  • Human Behaviour
  • Management Operations (General)
OBS

This recording technique is similar to time interval recording, but it does not require continuous observation. The observation time period is divided into equal intervals, but the behavior is recorded only during the selected segment of each interval. The time sampling techniques of recording allow the observer to engage in other activities while at the same time allowing for an accurate estimate of the prevalence or frequency of a behavior.
