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 coincidence between a performance and a reinforcer.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. To automatically bring about a response.






15. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






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






18. A neutral event which has become aversive by being paired with other aversive stimuli.






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






20. Pairing a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to get a conditioned response.






21. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






22. A lack of the desired response.






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






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






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






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






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






28. A stimulus that the organism finds inherently rewarding.






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






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






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






32. To remove from the environment.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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