3. Frequency Data Continuous Data. Collecting Manding data because we
collect it on every opportunity.
4. Duration Data Continuous data. Recording how long a tantrum oc-
curred.
5. Discontinuous Skill Acquisition data because it's only collected on the
Measurement first response of the session; this is also called Cold
Procedures Probe Data. Other types include partial interval record-
ing, whole interval recording, and momentary time sam-
pling.
6. Partial Interval Discontinuous Data. This is used if a behavior occurred
Recording at least once in a specified time interval.
7. Whole Interval Discontinuous Data. This is used if a behavior occurred
Recording during the entire duration of the timed interval.
8. Momentary Time Discontinuous Data. This would be when you record data
Sampling only every X amount of minutes.
9. Permanent Prod- A 'card system' is often used. These are permanent
