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 stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






4. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






6. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






7. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. The point at which appetite is lost.






21. To remove from the environment.






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






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






24. A coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






25. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






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






28. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






29. Learning to react differently to different stimuli.






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






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






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






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






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






35. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






43. To remove from the environment.






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






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






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






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






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






49. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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