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






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






3. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






5. An increase in frequency of a response which is followed by a positive reinforcer.






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






7. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






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






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






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






11. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






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






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






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






15. Measures of observed behavior.






16. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






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






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






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






21. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






22. A stimulus which has been conditioned through generalization as a predecessor to an aversive stimulus.






23. The point at which appetite is lost.






24. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






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






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






35. The initial phase of an organism's response to a novel stimulus.






36. A stimulus which has been conditioned through generalization as a predecessor to an aversive stimulus.






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






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






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






40. To add to the environment.






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






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






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






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






45. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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






49. To automatically bring about a response.






50. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.
