Event recording means recording of clients responses by the therapists when he /she see an instance of the behavior. Therapists use this method when the instances of the behavior are regular or uniform.

- Event-related Brain Potentials (ERPs) : Event-related Brain Potentials (ERPs ) is defined as a measure of brain activity. Electrodes placed on the scalp record voltage fluctuations in the brain as the individual perceives or responds to presented stimuli. These voltage fluctuations are electrical potentials associated with the experimentercontrolled events, and the location of the potentials is taken as evidence of where in the brain the processing of that event occurred.

Event-related field or ERF is a measure of magnetic fields at the scalp relating to neural activity typically associated with specific stimuli. Event-related field is highly useful for studying brain functioning.

- Event-related potential (ERP) : - Event-related potential (ERP ) : Event-related potential or ERP refers to an electrical recording technique to measure the response of the brain to various stimulus events. Moreover, Event-related potential is a measure of electrical activity in identifiable areas of the brain, corresponding to specific stimuli. Electroencephalograms (EEG) are typically used in studies of Event-related potentials

Event-sampling refers to a method used to study adult attachment that involves the recording of information about a person’s social interactions over a period of time
