True or False: Whole interval recording generally leads to an overestimate of behavior.

Whole interval recording typically involves observing and recording whether a behavior occurs during the entirety of a designated interval. For behavior to be recorded as occurring, it must be present for the entire length of that interval. This method can result in an underestimate of behavior because if the behavior occurs for only part of the interval, it will not be counted as a occurrence.

Therefore, it is not accurate to state that whole interval recording leads to an overestimate of behavior; rather, it tends to underreport the frequency of the behavior, as only continuous behavior for the full length of the interval is recorded.
