What aspect of behavioral data is emphasized in a cumulative record?

Frequency of responses
Duration of each behavior
Context in which behavior occurs
Quality of the responses

The correct answer is: Frequency of responses

A cumulative record is specifically designed to display the frequency of responses over time. This type of data collection technique allows practitioners to visualize progress in behavior change programs by accumulating responses rather than presenting individual data points per interval. Each increment on the record reflects the total number of responses that have occurred up to that point, creating a continuous line that showcases trends and patterns in behavior. The focus on frequency provides valuable insight into how often a specific behavior is occurring, facilitating the analysis of effectiveness for interventions and the motivation behind behavioral changes. This is essential for making informed decisions about program modifications and ensuring that the interventions applied are suitable and effective for the learner.
