Animal Training Vocab 2

Subject :
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. An increase in frequency of a response which is followed by a positive reinforcer






2. A neutral event which has become aversive by being paired with other aversive - stimuli






3. Decreasing the frequency of a response by the addition of an aversive stimulus






4. Refers to the relationship between the reinforcement and the criteria of the performance






5. A rapid muscular response made automatically by an organism to some appropriate stimulus. (same as Respondent Behavior






6. Decreasing the frequency of a response by the addition of an aversive stimulus






7. An inborn predisposition to behave in a specific way when appropriately stimulated.






8. Pairing a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to get a - conditioned response






9. The act of reinforcing by touch.






10. A stimulus that pinpoints in time the precise moment of a desired response






11. A conditioned stimulus which has the property of producing a specific behavior.






12. A method used to shape organisms' behavior whereby successive approximations of - the desired behavior are reinforced






13. A schedule of reinforcement in which a response is not reinforced every time - it is performed. (same as Intermittent Reinforcement






14. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






15. A response that is triggered by an unconditioned stimulus without prior training. (same as Unconditioned Response)






16. The failure of an operant behavior caused by previous aversive consequences.






17. Stimulus which indicates a specific behavior will be punished or not reinforced. (same as Stimulus Delta)






18. The act of reinforcing by touch.






19. The event which increases the frequency of the behavior it follows






20. The event which increases the frequency of the behavior it follows






21. A prop which pinpoints a critical location for an animal in training.






22. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






23. A method used to shape organisms' behavior whereby successive approximations of - the desired behavior are reinforced






24. A change or stray from the norm in standard of response.






25. A stimulus which has been conditioned through generalization as a predecessor to an aversive stimulus






26. To add to the environment






27. To connect or associate oneself with






28. A reinforcer follows any performance the animal emits except a particular one






29. A stimulus that an animal responds to because its perception has been conditioned or learned.






30. A neutral event which has become aversive by being paired with other aversive - stimuli






31. An assigned position for an animal - designated by a trainer.






32. A stimulus that pinpoints in time the precise moment of a desired response






33. A stimulus which has been conditioned through generalization as a predecessor to an aversive stimulus






34. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






35. Stimulus which indicates a specific behavior will be punished or not reinforced. (same as Stimulus Delta)






36. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






37. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






38. The failure of an operant behavior caused by previous aversive consequences.






39. The predictability of a behavior performed in the presence of one stimulus which is not evident in the presence of another stimulus






40. Measures of observed behavior






41. Some performance which is an approximation to the desired behavior and which the organism is already emitting.






42. Any environmental condition which activates the animal's sensory perception






43. Pairing a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to get a - conditioned response






44. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






45. Delivery of a reinforcer after a response that is incompatible or competes with a target response that is to be - suppressed.






46. Time between a cue being given and a response being performed.






47. An increase in frequency of a response which is followed by a positive reinforcer






48. Delivery of a reinforcer after a response that is incompatible or competes with a target response that is to be - suppressed.






49. A schedule of reinforcement in which a response is not reinforced every time - it is performed. (same as Intermittent Reinforcement






50. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.
