Efficacy of Using Momentary Time Samples To Determine On-Task Behavior of Students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders.

Gunter, Philip L.; Venn, Martha L.; Patrick, Jennifer; Miller, Kerrie A.; Kelly, Lois

Education and Treatment of Children, v26 n4 p400-12 Nov 2003

Momentary time samples (MTS) of 2, 4, and 6 minutes were compared to continuous recording samples of on-task behavior for three elementary-aged students with emotional/behavioral orders (EBD). Results indicated that the 2-minute, but not the 4- or 6-minute, interval MTS were consistent with the continuous measure. Implications for research and classroom use of MTS are drawn.
