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. The point at which appetite is lost.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. To automatically bring about a response.






17. A lack of the desired response.






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






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






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






21. Measures of observed behavior.






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






23. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






24. The point at which appetite is lost.






25. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






34. An inborn predisposition to behave in a specific way when appropriately stimulated.






35. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






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






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






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






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






40. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






42. A return to an earlier stage of learning.






43. Delivery of a reinforcer after a response that is incompatible or competes with a target response that is to be suppressed.






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






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






46. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






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






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






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