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 process in which learning is made easier by something learned previously






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






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






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






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






6. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






7. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






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






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






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






19. To connect or associate oneself with






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






21. A lack of response.






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






23. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






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






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






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






29. Measures of observed behavior






30. To add to the environment






31. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






34. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






37. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






39. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






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






42. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






45. A lack of response.






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






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






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






49. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






50. To remove from the environment
