What is ABA Terms bingo?
ABA Terms Bingo is a printable card listing core applied behavior analysis vocabulary — Baseline Data, Prompt Fading, Extinction Burst, Task Analysis — that trainees mark when they hear or demonstrate each concept during supervision or fieldwork. Each square holds a technical term like Mand Training or DRA Procedure, turning jargon memorization into an active recognition exercise for RBT candidates and graduate students studying for board exams.
How do BCBA supervisors use ABA Terms bingo during fieldwork observations?
Supervisors hand trainees an ABA Terms card before observing sessions, then trainees mark squares when they identify live examples — spotting Incidental Teaching during play, recognizing Attention Maintained behavior, or watching a therapist apply Full Physical Prompt. After the observation, the supervisor reviews marked squares like Forward Chaining and Backward Chaining to confirm the trainee correctly identified each procedure in context.
Can ABA Terms bingo help study groups prepare for the RBT exam?
Yes, study groups use ABA Terms cards to quiz each other on definitions — one member describes Topography or Differential Reinforcement while others race to mark the matching square. Cards include exam-heavy terms like DTT, Escape Maintained, and Parent Coaching, so groups cover the RBT Task List vocabulary through repetition without flashcards, and every round surfaces gaps in conceptual understanding.
