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






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






3. A lack of response.






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






5. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone






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






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






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






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






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






11. A lack of response.






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






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






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






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






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






17. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior






18. To connect or associate oneself with






19. To add to the environment






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






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






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






23. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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






27. To remove from the environment






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






29. A change in behavior due to experience






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






31. To add to the environment






32. Measures of observed behavior






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






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






35. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






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






38. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






41. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences






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






43. A change in behavior due to experience






44. To remove from the environment






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






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






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






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






49. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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