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






2. Forces regulating behavior due to drives - needs - or desires






3. The act of reinforcing by touch.






4. The stimulus to which responses are non-reinforced or punished






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






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






7. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






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






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






13. To remove from the environment






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






15. Forces regulating behavior due to drives - needs - or desires






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






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






18. The stimulus to which responses are non-reinforced or punished






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






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






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






22. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






25. To connect or associate oneself with






26. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






28. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






31. A lack of response.






32. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






33. A lack of response.






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






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






36. To add to the environment






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






38. Reducing the availability of - or access to - a reinforcer






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






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






41. Reducing the availability of - or access to - a reinforcer






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






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






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






45. To remove from the environment






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






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






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






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






50. A process in which learning is made easier by something learned previously
