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 response to a discriminative stimulus that is instrumental in avoiding a painful experience.






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






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






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






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






6. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






8. A lack of the desired response.






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






10. To connect or associate oneself with.






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






12. Measures of observed behavior.






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






14. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






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






19. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






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






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






22. Learning to react differently to different stimuli.






23. To add to the environment.






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






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






26. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






27. To remove from the environment.






28. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






30. Voluntary behavior that is controlled by its consequences.






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






32. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






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






34. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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