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






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






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






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






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






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






7. Measures of observed behavior.






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






9. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






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






12. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






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






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






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






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






17. Pairing a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to get a conditioned response.






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






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






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






21. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






33. Forces regulating behavior due to drives - needs - or desires.






34. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






37. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






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






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






40. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






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






43. A procedure to reduce the intensity of a cue.






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






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






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






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






48. Learning to react differently to different stimuli.






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






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