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






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






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






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






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






6. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






21. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






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






24. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






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






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






28. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






39. Time between a cue being given and a response being performed.






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






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






42. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






44. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






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






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






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






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






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






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