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






2. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






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






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






6. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






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






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






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






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






13. To add to the environment






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






21. Measures of observed behavior






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






23. A lack of response.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






39. To remove from the environment






40. A lack of response.






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






42. A change in behavior due to experience






43. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






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






46. The act of reinforcing by touch.






47. To remove from the environment






48. To add to the environment






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






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