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 change in behavior due to experience






2. A lack of response.






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






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






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






6. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






7. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. A lack of response.






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






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






17. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






19. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






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






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






29. Measures of observed behavior






30. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






32. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






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






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






36. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






39. To connect or associate oneself with






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






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






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






43. To remove from the environment






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






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






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






47. To remove from the environment






48. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






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