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. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






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






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






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






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






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






8. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






10. Measures of observed behavior.






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






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






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






14. A stimulus that pinpoints in time the precise moment of a desired response.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






29. Learning to react differently to different stimuli.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. The entire process of selectively reinforcing responses that approximate the desired response to an increasingly greater degree.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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