CPDT-KA EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
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.
