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






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






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






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






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






6. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






7. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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






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






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






13. A change in behavior due to experience






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






15. A lack of response.






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






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






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






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






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






21. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






22. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






23. A change in behavior due to experience






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






25. A lack of response.






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






27. To add to the environment






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






36. To add to the environment






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






38. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






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






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






43. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






45. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






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

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