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






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






4. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






5. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






6. To remove from the environment






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






8. A change in behavior due to experience






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






10. A lack of response.






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






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






13. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






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






18. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






21. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






22. To remove from the environment






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






24. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






27. A lack of response.






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






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






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






31. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






34. Measures of observed behavior






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






36. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






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






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






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






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






41. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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