D has the longest observation time, but those intervals are too long.

Really? 2 minutes feels too brief for a good assessment.

I think A is too short, might miss some hand-slapping.

I’m a bit confused about the intervals. I thought 10-minute intervals were common, but I can't recall if they were effective for this type of data.

I feel like we did a similar question where longer observation periods were less effective. Maybe A is too long?

I think option C sounds familiar because it has those 2-minute intervals, which we practiced in class.

I remember we discussed momentary time-sampling, but I'm not sure if shorter intervals are always better.

I'm leaning towards option D. Observing for a full hour and recording whether hand-slapping occurs at all during each 10-minute interval might give the therapist the best overall sense of the behavior.

Option A looks promising to me. Checking for hand-slapping at the end of each 3-minute interval could provide a good balance of detail and efficiency.

I'm a little confused by the different interval lengths. I'll need to think this through carefully to decide which one is the best approach.

I think option C might be the way to go. Dividing the observation period into 2-minute intervals and recording whether hand-slapping occurs at any moment during each interval seems like it would give a pretty detailed picture.

Option D is the way to go. An hour-long observation period with 10-minute intervals? That's some hardcore data collection right there. I hope Ed's therapist has a comfy chair and lots of coffee!

An hour-long observation period with 10-minute intervals does sound intense, but it's important for accurate data collection.

I'm glad Ed's therapist is trying to help him with his hand-slapping. Option C is the way to go - the more frequent the observations, the better we can track his progress. Though I hope the therapist doesn't get hand-slapped in the process!

I'm not sure why the question mentions 'momentary time-sampling data' - it seems like they're just looking for frequency of hand-slapping. Option C seems like overkill. I'd go with Option A.
