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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






9. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






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






12. A signal which will trigger a specific behavior or reflex as a result of a learned association.






13. To add to the environment.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






29. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






31. To automatically bring about a response.






32. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






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






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






36. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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