A chart used to display the occurrence of behavior across specific time periods. Each data point shows the level of some quantifiable feature of the dependent variable in relation to the independent variable that is in effect when the data was recorded. Each data point is connected by a line that can be used to interpret the overall data in terms of level, trend, and variability.
