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.

19. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






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






22. Measures of observed behavior.






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






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

26. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






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






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






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