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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. To add to the environment.






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






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






13. Measures of observed behavior.






14. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






16. Describes the decreased frequency of a performance that occurs when the performance is not reinforced frequently enough.






17. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






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






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






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






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






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






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






33. To automatically bring about a response.






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






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






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






37. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






39. To remove from the environment.






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






41. To add to the environment.






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






43. Represents the particular occasion on which a performance will not be reinforced. (same as Delta)






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. Describes the decreased frequency of a performance that occurs when the performance is not reinforced frequently enough.
