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. The frequency that behavior is performed prior to training.






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






3. To remove from the environment.






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






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






6. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. To automatically bring about a response.






16. To automatically bring about a response.






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






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






26. To add to the environment.






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






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






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






30. Any environmental condition which activated the animal's sensory perception.






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






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






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






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






35. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone.






36. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






38. A reflex response elicited by a conditioned stimulus alone.






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






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






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






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






43. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






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






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






46. To remove from the environment.






47. A situation in which an organism wants something but is afraid of obtaining it.






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






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






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