Guidelines for Anecdotal Reports • Write down the setting as you initially see it, describe the individuals and their relationship, identify the occurring activity. • Record everything the targeted student says and does and to whom or to what. • Describe everything said and done to the student and by whom. • Clearly differentiate between fact and your interpretation of what is being observed. • Provide some temporal indications so as to be able to judge duration.

Observational Recording Systems • Event Recording: – Recording the number of times a behavior occurs • Duration Recording: Recording the length of time a behavior occurs. • Interval Recording: – Recording of whether a behavior occurs during intervals of a specified time period. • Time Sampling: – Recording of whether a behavior occurs at the end of an interval during a specified time period. Alberto & Troutman Applied Behavior Analysis for Teachers, 7 e • Latency Recording: Recording the amount of time it takes for a student to begin the targeted behavior.
