CPDT KA EXAM 5 COMPREHENSIVE TEST
PAPER QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
◉ Learned Irrelevance.
Answer: Pre-exposure effect. learns to ignore things that have or had
no meaning to him or stops responding to a specific stimulus (cue,
trigger) because it doesn't have a particular significance that is
relevant to the dog.
In more simple words, it's the dynamic that causes your dog to pose
deaf ears to your continuous command to "sit", "no bite", or "come".
Another example: Dog is crated dog in a group dog class and hears
owners cuing their dogs to "come". But this dog is crated and the
owner not present or is leading the class. He's basically learned to
ignore a "come" command. Owner will probably need to use a new
word, like "here" instead.
◉ Learned Helplessnes.
Answer: Dog gives up, shuts down because he's learned he has no
control over the current adverse situation
◉ Single Event Learning.
,Answer: learning that occurs when something happens suddenly,
that is not related to anything else. A stimulus causes a response.

punishment, prong collars, leash jerks, choke chains, praise as
reward
◉ 4 Stages of Learning.
Answer: Acquisition, Fluency, Generalization, Maintenance
◉ Law of Parsimony.

◉ Premack Principle.
Answer: a high probability behavior, something the dog loves to do,
can be used to reward a low probability behavior
(to get "B" the dog must do "A") i.e. dog must "sit" before you'll open
the door to let him out.
◉ Overshadowing.
Answer: when the preferred stimulus (or cue) is not noticed by the
