A special type of Ability Check is the Skill Check, where a specific skill like Athletics, Perception, Sleight of Hand, etc. is used, but each Skill maps one to one to a corresponding Ability Score, so the Ability Score Modifier still applies.  For example, Athletics is based on Strength, whereas Sleight of Hand is based on Dexterity.
