Data representing high, medium, and low response rates in constant and nonconstant patterns were generated by electromechanical equipment to determine whether the same data collected by time‐sampling, interval recording, and frequency recording would be represented similarly by each method. Results indicated: (1) that time‐sampling provided an extremely inaccurate estimate of responding, and (2) that interval recording accurately represented responding of low and medium rates, but grossly underestimated high‐rate responding.
