PSYC 6731 Walden University Psychology Partial Interval Recording Question

Last week, you performed a frequency observation of a defined behavior. You focused on your experiences conducting the observation and measurement, and you included a simple frequency measurement of the target behavior. 

For this Assignment, you will extend on last week’s observation by applying a more systematic approach to recording the behavior. You will not only have to use systematic behavioral measurement; you will also have to select and defend why you selected that system over others. 

To Prepare 

In your readings from the Learning Resources and the Week 4 video introduction, review the different types of behavioral observation systems. Examine the pros and cons of each system. Note: Your review of Week 4’s video introduction will be critical to the completion of this Assignment. Review the behavior you observed from the video “Observing Problem Behaviors”. Select the behavioral recording system you believe would provide the most reliable measure of the target behavior. 

Propose a systematic behavioral measurement system (e.g., partial interval, whole interval, momentary time sampling) you might use to conduct the observation more systematically. Write a 1-page rationale for selecting the systematic behavioral measurement system you chose. Support your Assignment by citing all resources in APA style, including those in the Learning Resources.
