✅✅
E. Will elicit a different response from an unconditioned stimulus after training.
- -A. Will elicit the same response as an unconditioned stimulus after
training.
A conscious action becomes ________ action. - ✅✅-an automatic
A consequence is:
A. A stimulus that precedes a behavior
B. A stimulus that coincides with a behavior
C. A stimulus that is dependent upon a behavior
✅✅
D. A stimulus that follows a behavior
E. A stimulus that predicts a behavior - -D. A stimulus that follows a
behaviour
,A contingency is:

B. A statement of a dependent relationship between events
C. A sequence of training events
✅✅
D. A consequence that is controlled by the dog
E. A plan for what you will do if your training plan fails - -B. A statement
of a dependent relationship between events
✅✅
a discriminative stimulus that is very visible or noticeable. It tends to get the
most attention of the dog. - -Salience
A discriminative stimulus will:
A. Elicit play
B. Elicit self care behavior
C. Elicit a trained response
✅✅
D. Elicit a specific response
E. Elicit sleep - -C. Elicit a trained response
✅✅
A dog who is bitten by an animal who is not absolutely known to be free of
rabies must _____. - -be assumed to have been exposed to rabies
A dog who is dominant is aggressive, T or F? - ✅✅-false, dog can be dom
but not aggressive or aggressive but not dominant
A dog, while chasing a deer is called. When he does not return to his handler,
✅✅
an electric shock is applied to his neck. The dog learns to come back when
called. - -Positive Punishment
✅✅
A FAP is a stereotypic ______ ________ that is relatively _______ ___
_____. - -movement pattern, constant in form
✅✅
A fearful pup barks at approaching people who then back off. Barking
increases. - -Negative Reinforcement
A method of teaching a complex sequence of behaviors. Each behavior
signals the other behavior that eventually signals a reward. Backward chaining
is the most efficient way usually - in this method the last behavior is trained
, ✅✅
first followed by a reward. Then we go backwards and add behaviors. -
-Chaining
A puppy is tethered to a training wall. The handler walks away from the puppy
✅✅
whenever he is jumping. The do learns to keep four feet on the floor when
standing by the handler. - -Negative Punishment
a reward is given after every set number of responses - on FR-5 schedule -
✅✅
every 5 responses receive a reward. Very high and steady response rate
except for the post-reinforcement pause after the reward. - -Fixed ratio
(FR)
a reward is given only after a specific interval of time has elapsed from the
previous reward. On FI-5 the reward comes only if a response occurs after 5
✅✅
seconds from the last reward. Responses can be weak right after the reward -
this is called the fixed interval scallop. - -Fixed interval (FI)
✅✅
A service dog is given a treat when he applies forward pressure on his
harness. The dog learns to lead his partner. - -Positive Reinforcement
✅✅-Consequence
A stimulus that occurs after a behavior has occurred -
A tiny change in DNA can lead to a ______ change in behavior. - ✅✅-huge
A trigger is needed to start an FAP, T or F? - ✅✅-true
a very strong animal learning process in which the animal starts to touch or
manipulate a conditioned reinforcer (clicker) in order to get the primary
reinforcer. Can be a strong training tool. For example teaching retrieve to a
✅✅
non retriever. Make the ball, dumbbell a conditioned reinforcer for food and the
dog will start trying to manipulate it. - -Autoshaping
✅✅
A veterinary technician feeds the dog a treat when he is being examined by
the vet. The dog learns to enjoy visiting the vet. - -Positive
Reinforcement
a.k.a Pavlovian conditioning - an association between things. Leaning that
things go together. A predictable relationship that one thing is related to
✅✅
another. Conditioned stimulus predicts an unconditioned stimulus and causes
a conditioned response. - -Classical Conditioning

latency etc. - -Differential
