- -A. Will elicit the same response as an unconditioned stimulus after
training.

called. - -Positive Punishment
✅✅

_____. - -movement pattern, constant in form

A method of teaching a complex sequence of behaviors. Each behavior
signals the other behavior that eventually signals a reward. Backward chaining
is the most efficient way usually - in this method the last behavior is trained
, ✅✅
first followed by a reward. Then we go backwards and add behaviors. -
-Chaining
A puppy is tethered to a training wall. The handler walks away from the puppy
✅✅
whenever he is jumping. The do learns to keep four feet on the floor when
standing by the handler. - -Negative Punishment
a reward is given after every set number of responses - on FR-5 schedule -
✅✅
every 5 responses receive a reward. Very high and steady response rate
except for the post-reinforcement pause after the reward. - -Fixed ratio
(FR)
a reward is given only after a specific interval of time has elapsed from the
previous reward. On FI-5 the reward comes only if a response occurs after 5
✅✅
seconds from the last reward. Responses can be weak right after the reward -
this is called the fixed interval scallop. - -Fixed interval (FI)
✅✅

A trigger is needed to start an FAP, T or F? - ✅✅-true
a very strong animal learning process in which the animal starts to touch or
manipulate a conditioned reinforcer (clicker) in order to get the primary
reinforcer. Can be a strong training tool. For example teaching retrieve to a
✅✅
non retriever. Make the ball, dumbbell a conditioned reinforcer for food and the
dog will start trying to manipulate it. - -Autoshaping
✅✅
A veterinary technician feeds the dog a treat when he is being examined by
the vet. The dog learns to enjoy visiting the vet. - -Positive
Reinforcement
a.k.a Pavlovian conditioning - an association between things. Leaning that
things go together. A predictable relationship that one thing is related to
✅✅
another. Conditioned stimulus predicts an unconditioned stimulus and causes
a conditioned response. - -Classical Conditioning
