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






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






4. To remove from the environment






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






6. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






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






8. To add to the environment






9. A lack of response.






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






11. To remove from the environment






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






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






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






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






16. To connect or associate oneself with






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






18. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






19. To connect or associate oneself with






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






32. To add to the environment






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






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






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






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






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






38. A change in behavior due to experience






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






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






41. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






44. A lack of response.






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






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






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






48. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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