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






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






3. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






5. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






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






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






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






11. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






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






14. A reinforcer follows any performance the animal emits except a particular one.






15. A reinforcer follows any performance the animal emits except a particular one.






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






17. A process in which learning is made easier by something learned previously.






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






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






20. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






21. Measures of observed behavior.






22. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






32. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






36. The final pattern of behavior that organisms are expected to demonstrate after the completion of shaping procedures.






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






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






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






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






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






42. To automatically bring about a response.






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






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






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






46. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






47. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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