CBCC-KA STUDY EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
changing criterion - Correct Answers -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 - Correct Answers -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? - Correct Answers -brain and spinal
cord
functional analysis - Correct Answers -systematic manipulation of environmental
contingencies
Differential Reinforcement of High Rate - Correct Answers -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. - Correct Answers -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 -
Correct Answers -Behaviors that have been referred to as compulsive disorders,
obsessive compulsive disorders, and stereotypies
Behavior Analysis - Correct Answers -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.
Setting Events - Correct Answers -The general environmental conditions that provide
the context for and influence negative behavior
- important to acknowledge, determine how they affect clients, in order to find solutions
that improve behavior.
, Stretching the ratio is the procedure used to - Correct Answers -gradually increase the
number of responses required for the dog to earn reinforcement.
Protocol for emotional and behavioral modification - Correct Answers -1. investigate
health and stress
2. create prevention plan
3. condition reinforcers and markers
4. train and proof behaviors
5. teach the concept of a set up
6. separating triggers in set ups
7. training during real life
Behavioral Assessment - Correct Answers -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 - Correct Answers -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 - Correct Answers -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 - Correct Answers -While DRA and DRI
want to introduce a different behavior, what reinforcement only cares about the subject
not doing the target behavior?
limbic system - Correct Answers -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) - Correct Answers -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 - Correct Answers -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.
