1. A method for observing and comparing repetitive behavioral activities during the life span of a life form, said life span being recorded in a series of visual records of the behavioral activities, each visual record of the behavioral activity constituting a segment of the life span, comprising: a) converting each visual record in the series of visual records into a series of digitized images each digitized image having a location with a specific address and storing a time based identity for each digitized image, b) establishing a textual database and storing in the textual data base written descriptions of the digitized images and a glossary of key words describing each behavioral activity exhibited in the digitized image, each key word being associated with at least one exemplary digitized image representative of said key word, each written description being associated with at least one digitized image the digital images, the location of each digitized image the address of each digitized image and the associated written descriptions and key words forming an information library which is stored in a microprocessor system, the microprocessor being programmed so that a user can search and retrieve from the information library, 1) multiple digitized images of a selected behavioral activity, 2) precursor digitized images showing precursor behavior occurring at a time prior to each digitized image of the selected behavioral activity, 3) digitized images showing responsive behavior occurring at a time following each digitized image of the selected behavioral activity, and 4) digitized images of contemporary events occurring at the same time as the selected behavioral activity, such that each retrieved digitized image of selected, precursor, responsive and contemporary behavioral activity can be compared and contrasted.
