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






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






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






4. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Measures of observed behavior.






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






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






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






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






19. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






21. A procedure to reduce the intensity of a cue.






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






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






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






25. To automatically bring about a response.






26. To remove from the environment.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






34. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






35. A change in behavior due to experience.






36. Anything that increases the frequency of the behavior it immediately follows.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






44. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






45. A lack of the desired response.






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






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






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






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






50. The point at which appetite is lost.
