What does it mean to evaluate a behavior as observable, measurable, and
reproducible? - Answer- Observable: you can see it
Measurable: you can measure it
Reproducible: you can reproduce/recreate it
How do you set measurable goals? - Answer- Count frequency, duration, latency,
intensity, and Direct Behavior Ratings
How do you physically mold a behavior? - Answer- Use physical interactions to make a
dog sit or lay down
Example: having the leash short so the dog is forced to lay down
How do you prompt behavior? - Answer- Cue the behavior to happen using food lures,
voice prompts, equipment prompts, physical prompts (where dog is physically
manipulated into a position)
How do you use extinction to modify a behavior - Answer- Lack of reinforcement of a
behavior results in the behavior disappearing
Continuous reinforcement schedule - Answer- Reinforcement delivered after every
targeted behavior
Every time dog sits, he gets a treat
Fixed ratio reinforcement schedule - Answer- Reward only given after specified number
of responses
Every third time a dog does the behavior, he gets a treat
Intermittent ratio reinforcement schedule - Answer- Reward delivered after some
amount of responses, but not every time
Fixed interval reinforcement schedule - Answer- Reward behavior after certain amount
of time
Teaching down stay uses this
Intermittent interval reinforcement schedule - Answer- Reward behavior after unknown
amount of time
, Advanced down stay
Differential reinforcement schedule - Answer- Rewarding only the appropriate response
and nothing else;
How do you use deprivation to change behavior? - Answer- Deprive of
attention/activities in order to change behavior
How do you eliminate antecedents to modify behavior? - Answer- Remove stimulus for
creating the behavior. Providing cues for the acceptable behavior, new consequences
related to the new more acceptable behavior.
How would you manage the physical environment to optimize learning? - Answer-
Minimize distractions/triggers, stimuli that would cause threshold burst
What is SOAP? - Answer- Subjective
Objective
Assessment
Plan
Used for behavior/temperament evaluation
What are action patterns/motor programs? - Answer- Hard wired, instinctive behaviors
How do you assess predictability, frequency, and intensity of a behavior? - Answer- Can
you predict when the behavior happens?
Example: does the dog bark at the mailman when he drives up vs walking up the
driveway
How often does he bark at the mailman? every time vs every other time
Is the dog able to be redirected? Or are they over threshold?
The scientific method is valuable because it:
A. offers answers not biases by cultural, social, or political beliefs
B. offers an effective method for approving or disapproving a hypothesis
C. provides undisputed facts about the information being studied
D. provides a standard set of methods for gathering and discussing information -
Answer- D. provides a standard set of methods for gathering and discussing information
Excessive chewing and destructive behavior in an adult dog may be indicators of:
A. inappropriate socialization
B. breed specified characteristics
C. possible separation related behavior
D. due to relationship with owner - Answer- C. possible separation related behavior
Which of the following is a form of non-associative learning?
A. habituation
B. operant conditioning
