Mrs. Susan has two sons, Tim and Tom, who are both identical twins. The boys rough house and fist-fight a lot. Soon, Mrs. Susan makes a new rule: every time the boys rough house or fist-fight, if she catches them, she will take away 15 minutes from their video game play time that day.
After a few days, she notices that the boys stop fist-fighting and rough housing (at least, around her).

Negative Punishment
Which of these statements is true regarding Cumulative data recording?
Trends in a cumulative record can include a positive (increasing) and negative (decreasing) slope
Data never decreases in a cumulative record; an increasing slope indicates occurrence of the target behavior, while a flat slope indicates periods of no occurrences of the target behavior
Data is recorded once per session; downward slopes indicate a decreasing trend
A combination of all frequency scores into a single "master score index" used to compare frequency charts for different types of behavior
Bill is working in a classroom of twenty five children. A BCBA working for the school asked him if he could take data on a a student in his class who chews his fingernails and then stores them in his desk.
