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. The point at which appetite is lost.






2. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.

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






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






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






7. To add to the environment.






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






9. An inborn predisposition to behave in a specific way when appropriately stimulated.






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






11. To automatically bring about a response.






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






13. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






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






15. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






16. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. To connect or associate oneself with.






30. A return to an earlier stage of learning.

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






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






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






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






36. A change in the organism's behavior as a result of the influence of the environment.






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






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






39. A period in which progress in learning appears to be at a standstill.






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






41. An inborn predisposition to behave in a specific way when appropriately stimulated.
