CBCC-KA STUDY EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS (NEWEST VERSION)
ALREADY PASSED
What are the 4 D's of dog training? - Answer- distance, distraction, duration and
difficulty.
The 5 Steps Of Contingency Planning - Answer- Program Management.
Planning.
Implementation.
Testing & Exercise.
Program Improvement.
biological homeostasis - Answer- Focuses on physical conditions such as hunger, thirst,
and temperature
Behavior analysts - Answer- focus on observable events and seek to understand the
interaction between the environment and the individual.
With an experiment, the researcher is trying to learn: - Answer- explanation of 'why'
something happens
Responsibilities for ethical research - Answer- - Gain informed consent from participants
- privacy of participants
- confidentiality of information
- Protect participants from risks
changing criterion - Answer- A research design in which the rate of the target response
is progressively changed (up or down). Used when the final level of the target response
is radically different from baseline and likely to resist change.
Ratio strain is a disruption in responding due to - Answer- when a dog's pattern of
responding begins disrupting because of stretching that ratio too much.
"overworked and underpaid"
What does the central nervous system consist of? - Answer- brain and spinal cord
functional analysis - Answer- systematic manipulation of environmental contingencies
, Differential Reinforcement of High Rate - Answer- behavior is reinforced only if it occurs
at least a specified number of times in a given period
What reinforcement schedule should you use when dogs engage in a desirable
behavior at a rate far below what we want to see. - Answer- Using DRH systematically
reinforces incremental increases in the rate of that behavior.
Circling, freezing, snapping in the air, tail chasing, and pacing are all examples of -
Answer- Behaviors that have been referred to as compulsive disorders, obsessive
compulsive disorders, and stereotypies
Behavior Analysis - Answer- A comprehensive experimental approach to the study of
the behavior of organisms, including: the discovery of principles and laws that govern
behavior, the extension of these principles over species, and the development of an
applied technology.
Behavioral Assessment - Answer- The systematic study of an individual's behavior
patterns. The information gathered is used to clearly define a specific behavior prior to,
during, and after any type of treatment or intervention.
DRL - Answer- Unlike DRA, DRI, and DRO, this procedure doesn't want to eliminate the
behavior. Instead, it just wants to decrease how often the behavior occurs.
Differential Reinforcement of Low Rate - Answer- An owner wants her guard dog to bark
less, but not extinguish his barking entirely. The trainer taught the dog to "speak" on
command, and used a fixed interval schedule of reinforcement to decrease his barking.
This is an example of:
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior - Answer- While DRA and DRI want to
introduce a different behavior, what reinforcement only cares about the subject not
doing the target behavior?
limbic system - Answer- What system plays a vital role in dogs 'decision making'
capacity, helping them determine what they should or shouldn't do in a given situation?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) - Answer- Phobias in pets are commonly assumed
to be associated with specific stimuli, such as thunderstorms, loud noises, strangers,
separation from an owner, or the outdoors. However, some dogs chronically exhibit
signs of anxiety regardless of their situation. While demonstrations of fear may intensify
when these animals are exposed to certain situations or stimuli, such pets are rarely or
never truly relaxed and calm. These pets may have what disorder?
nervous system - Answer- The brain processes the input from the senses, develops a
response, and ultimately drives appropriate motor functions. What is responsible, either
directly or indirectly, for all behaviors.
