A deep dive into the science of behavior, from fundamental classroom techniques to the rigorous concepts found on the BCBA certification exam. This is a Adult / General Science review game in a Jeopardy-style format: a teacher puts the board on one screen, teams pick clues by point value, and the class answers out loud — no student devices or accounts needed. Categories: The ABCs, Functions of Behavior, Reinforcement Lab, The BCBA Exam Prep, Verbal Behavior.
- Adult / General Science review
- Whole-class review on one shared screen
- Test or quiz prep
- Team-vs-team practice in class
A peek at what's on the board — 5 categories and one sample clue from each. Answers stay hidden until you open them, so the game still works.
This term refers to the 'A' in the ABC contingency, occurring immediately before a behavior.

Board content
The ABCs
- $100 — This term refers to the 'A' in the ABC contingency, occurring immediately before a behavior.
- Antecedent
- $200 — In the ABC model, this is the 'C' that follows a behavior and influences its future frequency.
- Consequence
- $300 — This is the primary goal of taking ABC data in a clinical setting.
- Determining function
- $400 — This specific type of antecedent triggers a behavior because reinforcement has been available in its presence.
- Discriminative Stimulus
- $500 — These variables alter the effectiveness of a reinforcer and the current frequency of related behavior.
- Motivating Operations
Functions of Behavior
- $100 — This function is characterized by a person seeking a physical item or an activity.
- Tangible
- $200 — When a student disrupts class to get the teacher to look at them, the behavior serves this function.
- Attention
- $300 — This function involves a person engaging in behavior to get away from an unwanted task.
- Escape
- $400 — Behaviors that feel good or provide internal relief without social mediation are called this.
- Automatic reinforcement
- $500 — This is the most common experimental method used to identify the function of a behavior.
- Functional Analysis
Reinforcement Lab
- $100 — This occurs when a stimulus is added following a behavior, increasing its future frequency.
- Positive reinforcement
- $200 — This schedule of reinforcement provides a reward after every single occurrence of the behavior.
- Continuous Reinforcement
- $300 — Taking away a loud noise after a person puts on headphones is an example of this.
- Negative reinforcement
- $400 — A slot machine operates on this specific type of intermittent reinforcement schedule.
- Variable Ratio
- $500 — This principle states that a high-probability behavior can reinforce a low-probability behavior.
- Premack Principle
The BCBA Exam Prep
- $100 — This is the philosophy of the science of behavior analysis.
- Behaviorism
- $200 — This 1968 article by Baer, Wolf, and Risley defined the seven dimensions of ABA.
- Some Current Dimensions of ABA
- $300 — This dimension of ABA requires that interventions are described well enough to be replicated.
- Technological
- $400 — This refers to the extent to which an experiment rules out alternative explanations for change.
- Internal validity
- $500 — This specific measurement looks at the time between two successive responses.
- Interresponse Time
Verbal Behavior
- $100 — B.F. Skinner defined this verbal operant as a request for something desired.
- Mand
- $200 — This is a verbal operant where the speaker names or identifies things in the environment.
- Tact
- $300 — When a student repeats exactly what a teacher says, they are engaging in this operant.
- Echoic
- $400 — This verbal operant involves a conversation or answering a question without point-to-point correspondence.
- Intraverbal
- $500 — This type of verbal operant has point-to-point correspondence but no formal similarity to the stimulus.
