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.
In this technique, each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected as subject. The entire process of sampling is done in a single step with each subject selected independently of the other members of the population. There are many methods to proceed with simple random sampling. The most primitive and mechanical would be the lottery method. Each member of the population is assigned a unique number.
