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






2. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






4. Measures of observed behavior.






5. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






7. To add to the environment.






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






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






10. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






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






13. Using a sound or cue to bring the animal back to station.






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






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






16. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






17. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






19. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






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






21. A change in the organism's behavior as a result of the influence of the environment.






22. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






23. To remove from the environment.






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






25. Any stimulus that when removed - reduced - or prevented - increases the probability of a given response.






26. A lack of the desired response.






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






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






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






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






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






32. Measures of observed behavior.






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






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






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






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






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






38. A change in behavior due to experience.






39. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






41. Any stimulus that has no effect on behavior before conditioning.






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






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






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






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






46. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






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






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






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