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 change or stray from the norm in standard of response.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






9. A lack of response.






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






11. To connect or associate oneself with






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






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






14. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






15. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






24. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






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






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






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






28. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






29. A lack of response.






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






31. To connect or associate oneself with






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






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






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






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






36. To remove from the environment






37. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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






41. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






42. To remove from the environment






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






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






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






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






47. The act of reinforcing by touch.






48. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






50. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences
