Ultimate CPDT-KA study guideoperant conditioning - answerlearning process through which the strength of a behavior
is modified by reinforcement or punishment.
classical conditioning - answera learning process that occurs when two stimuli are
repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually
elicited by the first stimulus alone.
positive reinforcement - answerIncreasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such
as food or a toy.
positive reinforcer - answerany stimulus that, when presented after a response,
strengthens the response
negative reinforcement - answerthe removal of an adverse stimulus which is 'rewarding'
to the animal or person. It strengthens behavior because it stops or removes an
unpleasant experience.'
negative punishment - answera certain reinforcing stimulus is removed after a specific
undesired behavior is exhibited, resulting in the behavior happening less often in the
future.
positive punishment - answerthe administration of a stimulus to decrease the probability
of a behavior's recurring
Aversive - answerAny circumstance or event that causes pain, fear, or emotional
discomfort. Tending to avoid or causing avoidance of a noxious or punishing stimulus.
Back-chaining - answerThe transfer of control of a learned response from one cue to
another cue that consistently occurs prior to the first cue.
Captured behavior - answerReinforcing an animal in the act of performing the complete
behavior.
Chaining - answerA series of individual behaviors in which an animal is trained to
perform in sequence. Each behavior provides the cue for the next behavior, and only
the last behavior in the chain results in delivery of a primary reinforcer.
,conditioned reinforcer - answera stimulus that gains its reinforcing power through its
association with a primary reinforcer; also known as a secondary reinforcer
counter conditioning - answera behavior therapy procedure that conditions new
responses to stimuli that trigger unwanted behaviors; based on classical conditioning
Desensitization - answerThe process of increasing an animal's tolerance to a particular
stimulus by gradually increasing the presence of the stimulus.
Extinction - answerThe process of decreasing behavior by permanently removing the
maintaining reinforcer. When operant behavior that has been previously reinforced no
longer produces reinforcing consequences the behavior gradually stops occurring.
Fading - answerTo slowly remove all prompts so that the cue (SD) alone leads to the
behavior.
fixed duration - answerA schedule of reinforcement, which sets the rule that the target
behavior must be exhibited continuously for a specified period of time, at which point
reinforcement is delivered.
fixed interval - answerA schedule of reinforcement, which sets the rule that
reinforcement is delivered immediately following the first response exhibited after a
specific interval of time has passed.
fixed ratio - answerA schedule of reinforcement, which sets the rule that reinforcement
is delivered following the final response after a fixed number of responses have
occurred.
Flooding - answerA form of behavior therapy, based on the principles of respondent
extinction, in which a subject is exposed, usually at full intensity, to an aversive
stimulus, where escape behavior is prevented, until escape responding ceases.
Habituation - answerThe diminishing of an instinctive response to a frequently repeated
stimulus. Therefore people or animals become used to something, so that they no
longer find it unpleasant or think it is a threat
intermittent reinforcement - answerReinforcement is given only part of the time a subject
gives the desired response.
interval reinforcement - answerIt is a schedule of reinforcement where the first response
is rewarded only after a specified amount of time has elapsed.
Latency - answerthe time between the cue and the beginning of the pet's response, the
behavior.
,neutral stimulus - answerA stimulus that does not evoke or elicit the behavior in
question.
Premack Principle - answerA principle that states that making the opportunity to engage
in a high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low-frequency behavior
will function as reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior.
antecedent - answerAny stimulus present in the environment before the behavior occurs
ABC of behavior - answerAntecedents, Behavior and Consequences.
extinction burst - answerThe phenomena of behavior temporarily or briefly getting worse
not better when a previously rewarded behavior is not rewarded
random reinforcement - answerThe reward is not given every time when the behavior
happens
4 D's - answerDistance, duration, different environment, delivery of reward
stimulus control - answerThe dog does what is asked correctly and not in other
situations
superstitious behavior - answerCoincidental learning of some irrelevant behavior along
with desired one.
Shaping - answerRewarded for successive approximations of the desired behavior
Physical Modeling - answerphysically manipulate into position
