Default Wood slat decking

The pea that sits between my ears is rattling around too much.
What is the proper term for decking consisting of only 1 x 2 wood slats?

If it is on the roof like your pictures, I would call it skip sheathing.

I would not call it decking at all. I would call it strapping.
