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.

2. The act of reinforcing by touch.






3. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






5. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






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






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






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






10. Measures of observed behavior






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






12. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






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






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






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

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






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






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