The instantaneous sampling method is a frequently used sampling method in animal behavior. While using the instantaneous sampling method, the observer records the behavior of an individual in a group at predetermined time intervals. This sampling methods records states, rather than events.
Momentary time sampling provides an estimate of the. number of occurrences and can also be used to estimate the duration of a behavior. Duration Recording: When it is important to know how long a behavior occurs, either to target. an increase or decrease in behavior, duration recording can also be used. It is more precise than momentary time sampling or interval recording. Duration recording records the total time or percent of time that a behavior occurs within a specified time period. Duration recording can be used to measure behaviors emitted at high rates. Behavior is measured from the moment of onset until the moment it stops. A stop watch or other clock that can measure in seconds is needed. A-B-C Recording During direct observation, the operationally defined target behavior is
