The duration of a behavior measures:
A) The magnitude of the behavior
B) Amount of time it takes the behavior to begin after an identified stimulus
C) How often the behavior occurs
D) How long the behavior lasts
Duration of Behavior
The length of time over which a particular behavior or set of behaviors is observed or continues to occur.
Identified Stimulus
A specific environmental cue or event that is recognized and can trigger a particular response.
Magnitude
in a general sense, refers to the size, extent, or importance of something. In a scientific context, it often relates to the quantitative measure of a physical property.
- Recognize the value of employing observation recording strategies that concentrate on the frequency and duration of behavioral occurrences.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The duration of a behavior measures how long the behavior lasts. This is different from the frequency or rate of the behavior (how often it occurs), the latency (amount of time it takes for the behavior to begin after a stimulus), or the intensity or magnitude of the behavior.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize the value of employing observation recording strategies that concentrate on the frequency and duration of behavioral occurrences.
