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






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






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






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






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






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






7. A reinforcer follows any performance the animal emits except a particular one.






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






9. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






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






12. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






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






17. A single step in the reinforcement process of shaping.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






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






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






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






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






31. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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






35. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






39. A reinforcer follows any performance the animal emits except a particular one.






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






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






42. To automatically bring about a response.






43. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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