Interval Data Collection Type

Calculation/Functionality with Syncing

Partial Interval

  • Recorded data/ skill or behavior occurred - Interval is scored as a yes, data is saved. 

  • No occurrence of behavior (no) - Interval is scored as a no, data is saved. 

  • If a user uses the starts/resets option for partial interval in the middle of an interval and the skill/behavior occurred (user pressed occurred), the specific interval data will be included in the final calculation when syncing. Interval is scored as a yes for that interval.

  • User has not pressed occurred and reset/stops timer, the interval will be discarded since there was not an occurrence and the duration of the interval was not complete.    

  • NOTE: If user used the interval settings and pre-set interval timers to begin in the STOP position, opened the skill/behavior for data collection, but never started the timer, then no data would be scored for skill/behavior.

Whole Interval

  • Recorded data/ the skill or behavior occurred - Interval is scored as a yes, data saved.

  • No occurrence of the behavior - Interval is scored as a no, data saved.  

  • If a user uses the presses the start/reset with whole interval data collection in the middle of an interval and data has been recorded, the specific interval data will be discarded in the final calculation when syncing. 

  • Start/reset - if the whole interval is turned on and then user starts the interval timer, it will simultaneously score the interval as a yes. 

  • NOTE: If user used the interval settings and pre-set interval timers to begin in the STOP position, opened the skill/behavior for data collection, but never started the timer, then no data would be scored for skill/behavior.

Momentary Time Sample

  • Recorded data/ the skill or behavior occurred - Interval is scored as a yes, data is saved. 

  • No occurrence of behavior (no) - Interval is scored as a no, data is saved. 

  • If a user uses the start/resets an interval in the middle of an interval and data has been recorded, the specific interval data will be discarded in the final calculation when syncing.

  • If a user uses the start/reset to take multiple MTS throughout a session - time samples, all time samples will be calculated as one data point when syncing the data ( ex. 3 x 10 minute time samples: 1- yes, 2 - yes, 3- no).

  • NOTE: If user used the interval settings and pre-set interval timers to begin in the STOP position, opened the skill/behavior for data collection, but never started the timer, then no data would be scored for skill/behavior.
