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






2. To do an operant behavior in response to a conditioned stimulus.






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






4. A period in which progress in learning appears to be at a standstill.






5. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






6. Some performance which is a closer approximation to the desired behavior.






7. Stimulus which elicits a reaction with no prior conditioning.






8. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






9. A stimulus which produces a response through pairing or association.






10. The process by which - through learning - free operant behavior becomes attached to a specific stimulus. (same as Operant Conditioning)






11. When a behavior is reliably performed in the presence of one stimulus - but not another.






12. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






14. A stimulus which produces a response through pairing or association.






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






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






17. Any stimulus that acquires reinforcing properties through association with a primary reinforcement.






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






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






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






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






22. The initial phase of an organism's response to a novel stimulus.






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






24. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






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






28. Pairing a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to get a conditioned response.






29. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






30. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






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






34. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






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






36. An increase in the frequency and intensity of responding at the beginning of extinction.






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






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






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






40. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






42. Any stimulus that acquires reinforcing properties through association with a primary reinforcement.






43. A lack of the desired response.






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






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






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






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






48. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






49. An increase in the frequency and intensity of responding at the beginning of extinction.






50. To do an operant behavior in response to a conditioned stimulus.
