Errors of transmission
When you forget to include important details in your observation.
Errors of omission
This method measures the length of time a behaviour occurs.

Frequency
Is a more efficient qualitative method than the narrative.
ABC method
What happens immediately before the behaviour occurs is called...
Antecedent

This method is not appropriate for behaviours that happen too quickly to count accurately.
Frequency method
Receiving information through your eyes and ears is called...
Observation
Gives us a clear understanding about the context and causes of a behaviour...
