The statement above is true. When using interval method, it does not matter the number of responses, if the behavior occur in a given segment then the observer has to record it as a single event. For instance, in an English class of one hour, that is divided into six segments of ten minutes each. It does not matter the number of responses, if the behaviour occurs within the segment of ten minutes, then it has to be recorded as a single event.
