EATM Animal Training Vocab

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






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






4. A schedule of reinforcement in which each correct performance is followed by the reinforcer.






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






6. Measures of observed behavior.






7. To add to the environment.






8. A schedule of reinforcement in which a response is not reinforced every time it is performed. (same as Partial Reinforcement Maintenance)






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






10. The cessation of stimulus or response from the trainer - for some interval of time.






11. A signal which will trigger a specific behavior or reflex as a result of a learned association.






12. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






13. The final pattern of behavior that organisms are expected to demonstrate after the completion of shaping procedures.






14. Represents the particular occasion on which a performance will not be reinforced. (same as Delta)






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






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






17. A method used to shape organisms' behavior whereby successive approximations of the desired behavior are not reinforced.






18. When a stimulus acquires control of a response due to reinforcement in the presence of a similar - but different stimulus.






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






20. The process of conditioning an animal's frame of mind in eliciting behavioral responses.






21. To add to the environment.






22. Reinforcement provided by a stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






23. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






24. Stimulus which indicates a specific behavior will be punished or not reinforced.






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






26. A method used to shape organisms' behavior whereby successive approximations of the desired behavior are not reinforced.






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






28. Describes the decreased frequency of a performance that occurs when the performance is not reinforced frequently enough.






29. A response to a discriminative stimulus that is instrumental in avoiding a painful experience.






30. The entire process of selectively reinforcing responses that approximate the desired response to an increasingly greater degree.






31. A response to a discriminative stimulus that is instrumental in avoiding a painful experience.






32. To automatically bring about a response.






33. The process of stimulating an animal to touch a particular object.






34. The process by which a young animal forms a lasting attachment to and preference for some object - usually a parent.






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






36. To remove from the environment.






37. A payment for a correct response to a stimulus.






38. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






40. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






43. The frequency that behavior is performed prior to training.






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






45. Reinforcing on selected occasions at or after one variation of a behavior as opposed to another variation or behavior.






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






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






48. The process of learning a sequence of behaviors that proceeds semi-automatically in a determinate order.






49. Measures of observed behavior.






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