Getting ready for your BCBA exam? You’re in the right place.
I created RBTExamPrep.com to give you the most realistic BCBA mock exam experience possible 185 questions designed to feel just like the real thing.
My goal isn’t just to help you pass, but to help you understand every concept deeply.
Whether you get a question right or wrong, you’ll see detailed feedback explaining why, so you’ll be ready for that type next time. I want you to walk into test day feeling confident, calm, and prepared.
Many students have shared that these questions felt almost identical to the real exam and that’s exactly what I was aiming for. I’d love to hear how you did please share your score in the comments below! It really helps encourage others who are preparing for the exam. 🙂
I built this site to keep high-quality BCBA prep resources free and accessible for everyone, which is why it’s supported by ads. If it helped you, it’d mean a lot if you shared it with your peers.
If you want to keep practicing, check out the BCBA section for more tests and study materials!

#1. An individual, accustomed to frequent social interaction, experienced several months of strict lockdown during a pandemic, during which they were completely unable to socialize with friends. As soon as restrictions eased, this individual spent the next 10 consecutive nights hanging out with friends. The increased value of social interaction and the subsequent high frequency of social engagement following a period of deprivation from social contact is best described as an example of what behavioral concept?
The period of being unable to socialize due to lockdown created a state of deprivation from social interaction for the individual Deprivation in this context functions as an establishing operation EO An EO is a motivating operation that increases the current effectiveness of some stimulus object or event as a reinforcer in this case social interaction became much more valuable and also evokes behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus object or event leading to the individuals increased behavior of hanging out with friends 10 nights in a row Satiation would be the opposite effect where prolonged or repeated access to a reinforcer decreases its effectiveness and abates behavior An abolishing operation AO would decrease the current effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer and abate behavior which is contrary to the observed outcome Habituation refers to a decrease in the strength or occurrence of a behavior after repeated exposure to the stimulus that elicits or evokes that behavior often associated with respondent behavior and does not fully capture the motivational and behavioral changes described here in terms of reinforcer effectiveness
