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






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






3. To add to the environment






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






11. A lack of response.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






21. Measures of observed behavior






22. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






24. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. To connect or associate oneself with






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






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






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






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






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






38. A change in behavior due to experience






39. A change in behavior due to experience






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






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






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






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






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






45. To remove from the environment






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






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






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






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






50. The act of reinforcing by touch.
