RBT Task List Study Guide
2026
Frequency—ANSWER--Count of each instance
Duration—ANSWER--Time spent engaged in single instance of target behavior
Latency—ANSWER--Time from onset of stimulus to onset of response
Continuous measurement procedures—ANSWER--Recording each instance of the target
behavior along the selected dimension (Frequency, duration, and latency)
Discontinuous measurement procedures—ANSWER--Recording a sample of instances of the
target behavior according to predetermined schedule (Momentary time sampling, partial
interval recording, and whole interval recording)
Momentary time sampling—ANSWER--Recording occurrence/non-occurrence at a specific
point in time
Partial interval recording—ANSWER--Recording if the target behavior occurred at any point in
time in a predetermined interval
Whole interval recording—ANSWER--Recording if the target behavior occurred for the entire
duration of a predetermined interval
, Permanent product recording procedures—ANSWER--Recording performance of a skill based
on observing a finished product, not the actual performance of the skill
Enter data and update graphs—ANSWER--Recording data according to the specific
instructions for each program/target behavior and updated graphic representation (as
relevant) to display most recent data collected
Conduct preference assessments—ANSWER--Conducting formal assessments to determine
client preferences for various items/activities and/or implementing informal "preference
checks" throughout sessions to ensure motivation remains high
Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement—ANSWER--Items are presented in an array and the
client is instructed to pick one and given time to engage with that item. After the engagement
interval, the array is presented again without the already selected item and the client selects
again. Process continues until all items are chosen or client stops choosing items. The full
array is presented 3-5 times and selection percentage is calculated to give preference
gradient.
Multiple Stimulus With Replacement—ANSWER--Items are presented in an array and the
client is instructed to pick one and given time to engage with that item. After the engagement
interval, the array is presented again with the selected item returned and the client selects
again. Process continues for predetermined number of selection opportunities and selection
percentage is calculated.
Paired choice—ANSWER--Potential reinforcers are presented in pairs (each item paired with
each other item) and the client is instructed to select one. All potential pairs are presented
and selection percentage is calculated. Requires counter-balancing for positional bias.
