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 coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






2. Any stimulus that has no effect on behavior before conditioning.






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






4. A change in behavior due to experience.






5. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






7. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






9. When a stimulus acquires control of a response due to reinforcement in the presence of a similar - but different stimulus.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






27. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






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






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






30. Measures of observed behavior.






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. To remove from the environment.






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






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






40. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






42. To remove from the environment.






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






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






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






46. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






47. A stimulus which has been conditioned through generalization as a predecessor to an aversive stimulus.






48. To add to the environment.






49. When a stimulus acquires control of a response due to reinforcement in the presence of a similar - but different stimulus.






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