CPDT-KA EXAM WITH ALL CORRECT & 100% VERIFIED
ANSWERS |LATEST UPDATE |ALREADY GRADED A+
Operant Conditioning - Skinner ✔Correct Answer-learned by association -works with
VOLUNTARY behaviors - applying reinforcement or punishment AFTER the behavior
Creator of this method considered a "reinforcer" something that made a behavior occur more
frequently. If there was no change in the behavior, it wasn't a reinforcement.
Formula:
Discriminative Stimulus (your command)-Response-Consequence
Classical Conditioning - Pavlov ✔Correct Answer-Learned association between 2 events: 1
event is neutral and 1 event elicits an unconditioned response. Works with
INVOLUNTARY/automatic behaviors (like drooling) and placing a neutral sign (like ringing a bell)
BEFORE it.
Learning ✔Correct Answer-a change in behavior that lasts for a long time
Performance ✔Correct Answer-the doing of a behavior, doesn't mean that something was
learned
Discriminative Stimulus ✔Correct Answer-Your command
Temporary Criteria ✔Correct Answer-the beginning steps of an exercise towards performing a
command that is new to the dog
Reward Based Training ✔Correct Answer-uses positive reinforcement (rewards) and negative
punishment (removing something the dog likes - i.e. your attention)
Primary Reinforcer ✔Correct Answer-food, water, anything dog needs for survival. Food
activates parasympathetic nervous system, can calm dog, make him less fearful, & result in
training process being enjoyable
Secondary Reinforcer aka Conditioned Reinforcer ✔Correct Answer-Clicker, saying "yes", . . .
marks a behavior as rewardable and promises reward in near future. Rewards such as tennis
balls, petting, clapping, tug- dog is conditioned to like them. ALL OF THESE ARE LEARNED
THROUGH CLASSICAL CONDITIONING.
Tertiary Reinforcer ✔Correct Answer-cues the dog knows and enjoys doing. the doing is the
reinforcer
One of the most important points about reinforcement ✔Correct Answer-Do not feed or
reinforce unwanted behaviors during training
, Shaping ✔Correct Answer-rewards dog for successive approximations of the behavior
Luring ✔Correct Answer-lead the dog into the behavior by tempting with a treat
Prompting ✔Correct Answer-Much like luring only the animal can't see the treat
Chaining ✔Correct Answer-method of teaching a complex sequence of behaviors. each
behavior signals the other behavior that eventually signals a reward. Doing this from the last
step to the first step is usually the most efficient way - with the last behavior trained first,
followed by a reward. Then teach the behavior that will preceed that one, etc, etc.
Free Shaping ✔Correct Answer-No instruction, cues or input is given, except for the clicker.
Stimulus Control ✔Correct Answer-how a dog responds to cue
Under stimulus control ✔Correct Answer-when dog does not:
1. refuse to give behavior when cued to do so
2.give the behavior if not cued to do so
3.give the behavior for a different cue
4. give a different behavior on the cue
Superstitious Behavior ✔Correct Answer-some irrelevant behavior that the dog performs
along with the desired one thinking that it's required to earn the reward. Usually the result of
an accidental reinforcement
VSR ✔Correct Answer-Variable Schedules of Reinforcement - for fluency
Differential Reinforcement ✔Correct Answer-A type of VSR where we look for the best
examples of the behavior to reward & ignore other offers
Limited Hold ✔Correct Answer-(VSR) Reward is available only for a certain length of time. It
rewards the SPEED of response.
Operant conditioning ✔Correct Answer-Majority of dog training is this type
Habituation ✔Correct Answer-A decrease in the strength of a naturally elicited behavior that
occurs through repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus.
The reason for varying rewards ✔Correct Answer-Because dogs can habituate to rewards
resulting in slower, less vigorous responses
Sensitization ✔Correct Answer-reaction to a stimulus becomes even stronger when the
stimulus is being shown repeatedly
