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. Any stimulus that when removed - reduced - or prevented - increases the probability of a given response.






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






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






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






5. A period in which progress in learning appears to be at a standstill.






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






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






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






9. When a behavior is reliably performed in the presence of one stimulus - but not another.






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






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






12. Measures of observed behavior.






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






14. The frequency that behavior is performed prior to training.






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






16. An identifiable demonstration of behavior.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. The point at which appetite is lost.






31. A stimulus that an animal responds to innately.






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






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






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






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






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






37. Learning to react differently to different stimuli.






38. To remove from the environment.






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






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






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






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






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






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






45. Measures of observed behavior.






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






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






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






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






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