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






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






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






4. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






7. Learning to react differently to different stimuli.






8. To add to the environment.






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






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






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






12. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






13. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






14. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






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






17. A conditioned stimulus which has the property of producing a specific behavior.






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






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






20. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






22. Delivery of a reinforcer after a response that is incompatible or competes with a target response that is to be suppressed.






23. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






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






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






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






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






29. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






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






32. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. To add to the environment.






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






43. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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