9. An RBT tracks how long a student remains on-task by starting a timer at the onset and stopping at task completion. Why is duration recording more suitable than interval sampling in this case?

32. Which recording method most likely led to underreporting when an observer only marked engagement if the behavior occurred for the entire interval?

33. Which prompt hierarchy is correct?

34. If you record behavior occurrence only at specific moments rather than continuously, you’re using:
