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






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






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






5. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






7. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






8. A change in behavior due to experience.






9. To add to the environment.






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






11. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






13. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






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






16. Measures of observed behavior.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. Learning to react differently to different stimuli.






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






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






30. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






32. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






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






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






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






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






38. To remove from the environment.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






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






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






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