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 process of stimulating an animal to touch a particular object.






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






3. To add to the environment.






4. The event which increases the frequency of the behavior it follows.






5. When a stimulus acquires control of a response due to reinforcement in the presence of a similar - but different stimulus.






6. The event which increases the frequency of the behavior it follows.






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






8. Behavior which results from accidental reinforcement.






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






10. A lack of the desired response.






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






12. The act of reinforcing by touch.






13. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






15. A recurrent pattern of behavior acquired through experience.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. To automatically bring about a response.






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






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






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






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






37. When a stimulus acquires control of a response due to reinforcement in the presence of a similar - but different stimulus.






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






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






40. The act of reinforcing by touch.






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






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






43. A change in behavior due to experience.






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






45. An antecedent event that helps initiate a response.






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






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






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






49. Measures of observed behavior.






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