CPDT-KA questions and answers latest top score. 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 the behavior if not cued to do so 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 CER Conditioned Emotional Response - correct answer. i.e. dog rides in car, hears backfire, now associates ride in car with loud scary noises and doesn't want to ride in cars. Very resistant to extinction Adaptation - correct answer. Involves the physical process of training. Sometimes confused with habituation but has nothing to do with learning. It's the tiring of sensory neurons to perceive the stimulus. Learned Irrelevance - correct 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 - correct answer. Dog gives up, shuts down because he's learned he has no control over the current adverse situation Single Event Learning - correct answer. learning that occurs when something happens suddenly, that is not related to anything else. A stimulus causes a response. (usually due to noises, movements) Compulsive Training - correct answer. uses some degree of negative reinforcement and positive punishment, prong collars, leash jerks, choke chains, praise as reward 4 Stages of Learning - correct answer. Acquisition, Fluency, Generalization, Maintenance Law of Parsimony - correct answer. Occam's Razor. unless there is evidence to the contrary, one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. The simplest, obvious answer is usually the best. aka Law of Simplicity, Law of Economy. Reinforcer - correct answer. recipient considers it good Reward - correct answer. giver considers it good and hopes recipient will too Conditioning - correct answer. learning Emitted behavior - correct answer. dog Voluntarily offers the behavior on his own Elicited behaviors - correct answer. prompted by luring or molding (assisted by person to perform) Criteria - correct answer. the specific, trainer defined response that is wanted Premack Principle - correct 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 - correct answer. when the preferred stimulus (or cue) is not noticed by the animal because there's a more noticeable (to the dog) stimulus around i.e. the hand motion may be more salient (noticeable) to the dog than the verbal cue when both are being used at the same time Permanent Criteria - correct answer. the finished product, final goal, fluency Extinction - correct answer. occurs when a behavior decreases in frequency or stops happening because of a lack of reinforcement. Extinction Burst - correct answer. increased frequency of a behavior just before extinction. (behavior gets worse, then gets better) Spontaneous Recovery - correct answer. sudden recurrence of a learned response during extinction The Humane Hierarchy's steps to manage or modify behavior - correct answer. 1. Health, Nutrition, and Physical Factors. 2. Antecedents 3. Positive Reinforcement, Classical Conditioning 4. Live with or Manage the Behavior
