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. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






3. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. A lack of response.






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






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






22. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






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






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






27. The act of reinforcing by touch.






28. To add to the environment






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






38. To connect or associate oneself with






39. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






41. To add to the environment






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






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






44. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






47. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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