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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






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






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






15. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






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






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






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






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






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






21. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






31. To remove from the environment.






32. To automatically bring about a response.






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






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






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






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






37. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






38. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






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






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






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






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






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






44. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






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






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






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






49. The point at which appetite is lost.






50. To automatically bring about a response.
