CPDT-KAOperant Conditioning - Skinner - answerlearned 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 - answerLearned 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 - answera change in behavior that lasts for a long time
Performance - answerthe doing of a behavior, doesn't mean that something was
learned
Discriminative Stimulus - answerYour command
Temporary Criteria - answerthe beginning steps of an exercise towards performing a
command that is new to the dog
Reward Based Training - answeruses positive reinforcement (rewards) and negative
punishment (removing something the dog likes - i.e. your attention)
Primary Reinforcer - answerfood, 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 - answerClicker, 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 - answercues the dog knows and enjoys doing. the doing is the
reinforcer
, One of the most important points about reinforcement - answerDo not feed or reinforce
unwanted behaviors during training
Shaping - answerrewards dog for successive approximations of the behavior
Luring - answerlead the dog into the behavior by tempting with a treat
Prompting - answerMuch like luring only the animal can't see the treat
Chaining - answermethod 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 - answerNo instruction, cues or input is given, except for the clicker.
Stimulus Control - answerhow a dog responds to cue
Under stimulus control - answerwhen 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 - answersome 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 - answerVariable Schedules of Reinforcement - for fluency
Differential Reinforcement - answerA type of VSR where we look for the best examples
of the behavior to reward & ignore other offers
Limited Hold - answer(VSR) Reward is available only for a certain length of time. It
rewards the SPEED of response.
Operant conditioning - answerMajority of dog training is this type
Habituation - answerA decrease in the strength of a naturally elicited behavior that
occurs through repeated presentations of the eliciting stimulus.
The reason for varying rewards - answerBecause dogs can habituate to rewards
resulting in slower, less vigorous responses
Sensitization - answerreaction to a stimulus becomes even stronger when the stimulus
is being shown repeatedly
