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. To automatically bring about a response.






2. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






4. A rapid muscular response made automatically by an organism to some appropriate stimulus. (same as Reflex)






5. The act of reinforcing by touch.






6. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






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






9. A procedure where the reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






17. A behavior that is impossible to occur with another at the same time.






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






19. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. To add to the environment.






29. Measures of observed behavior.






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






31. The point at which appetite is lost.






32. The act of reinforcing exactly following the desired behavior.






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






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






35. Occurs when learning on piece of material has negative effects on future learning.






36. Measures of observed behavior.






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






38. Tending to discourage - retard - or make more difficult.






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






40. Stimuli and methods used as tools to increase interest in the environment and decrease the frequency of stereotypical behaviors.






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






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






43. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






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






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






46. A procedure where the reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued.






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






48. A situation in which an organism is forced to choose on of two undesirable options.






49. A change in behavior due to experience.






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