The BACB Fourth Edition Task List is organized in three major sections:
The first section, Basic Behavior-Analytic Skills, covers tasks that a practicing behavior analyst will perform with some, but probably not all, clients. These tasks represent basic, commonly used skills and procedures.
The second section, Client-Centered Responsibilities, includes tasks related to working with all clients and they should apply in most applied situations.
The third section, Foundational Knowledge, covers concepts that should have been mastered prior to entering practice as a behavior analyst. The topics listed in this section are not tasks that a practitioner would perform; instead, they are basic concepts that must be understood in order to perform the tasks included in the first two sections.
