📊 Continuous vs. Discontinuous Measurement

FeatureContinuous MeasurementDiscontinuous Measurement
DefinitionRecords every instance of behaviorRecords samples of behavior during intervals
ExamplesFrequency, Duration, Latency, IRTPartial Interval, Whole Interval, Momentary Time Sampling
AccuracyHigh precisionMay over- or underestimate
Use CaseShort, frequent, observable behaviorsLong sessions or when observation is limited
ProsDetailed and exact dataLess time-consuming to collect
ConsTime-consuming, harder for fast behaviorsMay miss behavior details
