CPDT-KA Comprehensive Study Questions & Answers Accurate 100% What is a Punisher - ANSWERSsomething the learner will work to avoid and diminishes likelihood behavior will repeat Primary Reinforcers - ANSWERSfood, reproductive opportunity, water, physical and emotional security, sometimes play Secondary Reinforcer - ANSWERSThe stimulus is paired with or predicting a primary reinforcer, EX: clicker predicting food Tertiary Reinforcer - ANSWERSA behavior or stimulus that has been paired with or predicts a secondary reinforcer; helps create behavior chains Stimulus definition - ANSWERSSomething that elicits a behavior Response definition - ANSWERSA behavior elicited by a stimulus Consequence - ANSWERSWhat occurs in response to the learner's behavior (i.e. a reinforcer, punisher, nothing). Varies depending on the learner Counter- Conditioned Stimulus - ANSWERSA stimulus/response that has a new, redefined meaning than previously learned Sensitization - ANSWERSTo become hyper aware or responsive to a stimulus Desensitization - ANSWERSTo become less aware/sensitive of a stimulus through a protocol or intentional practice Adaptation - ANSWERSPhysical/sensory systems have been fatigued Habituation - ANSWERSTo become less aware/sensitive to a stimulus through "been there, done that" and stimulus was/is always present in full force. Overlearning - ANSWERSPracticing until lesson is understood no matter how information is presented Poisoned Cue - ANSWERSWhen negative association has been attached to a cue Eustress - ANSWERS"Good" stress--learner is primed and ready to engage in learning, is a pleasant state of arousal Distress - ANSWERS"Bad" stress--learner is overwhelmed and overloaded with stress hormones Consequences of distress - ANSWERSdogs will show calming signals, have lowered problem-solving ability Elicited behavior - ANSWERSinvoluntary/reflexive/emotional behavior What type of training can be used to change behavior that is elicited? - ANSWERSClassical Conditioning Emitted behavior - ANSWERSA voluntary choice behavior When training through operant learning/conditioning we are looking for - ANSWERSEmitted Behavior Extinction definition - ANSWERSDecreasing/extinguishing (frequency) of a conditioned behavior by removing reinforcement Extinction Burst definition - ANSWERSWhere behavior increases in frequency/intensity early during extinction Spontaneous Recovery definition - ANSWERS"backsliding" in recover/extinction What is the Premack Principle - ANSWERSA more likely behavior can reinforce a less likely behavior Grandma's Law - ANSWERSAKA Premack Principle "Eat your peas and then you can have ice cream" is an example of using the ____________ - ANSWERSPremack Principle Torndike's Law of Effect - ANSWERSBehaviors are more likely to be repeated if they lead to a satisfying consequence, and less likely to be repeated if they lead to an unsatisfying consequence Torndike's Law of Effect states that (3 parts) - ANSWERS1) Learning is incremental 2)Learning can occur via trail and error 3) "Use it or lose it!" Learning can be lost if not practiced/reviewed occasionally Classical Learning/Conditioning works on changing - ANSWERSvisceral/emotional/reflexive associations NS stands for - ANSWERSNeutral Stimulus The pro's of prompting - ANSWERShelps elicit the behavior quickly The con's of prompting - ANSWERScan accidentally train the prompt to be part of the cue Fading definition - ANSWERSDecreasing the intensity of the prompt Fading is necessary to avoid - ANSWERSthe prompt for a cue becoming part of the cue Luring definiton - ANSWERSusing the dog's nose to get their body to follow, usually uses food to get the dog to follow the pro's of Luring - ANSWERScreates an almost built-in hand signal, teaches the behavior quickly The con's of Luring - ANSWERSwithout proper fading of the treat the dog can become dependent on the presence of the treat Targeting - ANSWERSprovides a location goal for the dog The pro's of Targeting - ANSWERSeasy to use to teach more complex behaviors once core mechanism is taught The con's of Targeting - ANSWERSdog can become confused, some dogs are sensitive about using their nose or paws Modeling/Molding - ANSWERSTouching/manipulating the dog to get them to do a behavior The pro's of modeling - ANSWERScan be helpful for stoic dogs/dogs who are reluctant to follow a lure or target The con's of modeling - ANSWERSdog can become dependent on touch to cue behavior, some dogs find the physical manipulation aversive, dog learns slower this way because they don't really think about what we want from them Capturing definiton - ANSWERScatching the dog while they are doing the behavior and reinforcing it The pro's of capturing - ANSWERSuseful for training behaviors dogs do naturally/spontaneously like sneezing The con's of capturing - ANSWERSrequires vigilance from trainer Shaping definiton - ANSWERSIncremental criteria shifts that allows to teach complex behaviors The pro's of Shaping - ANSWERSdog has better understanding of cue because they had to think through and decide to take each step The con's of Shaping - ANSWERStime consuming CRF is short for - ANSWERSContinuous Reinforcement Schedule abbreviation FR is short for - ANSWERSFixed Ratio schedule abbreviation VR is short for - ANSWERSVariable Ratio schedule abbreviation FI is short for - ANSWERSFixed Interval schedule abbreviation VI is short for - ANSWERSVariable Interval schedule abbreviation DRH is short for - ANSWERSDifferential High Response Rate schedule abbreviation DRL is short for - ANSWERSDifferential Low Response Rate schedule abbreviation DRI is short for - ANSWERSDifferential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior schedule abbreviation DRO is short for - ANSWERSDifferential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors schedule abbreviation DRE is short for - ANSWERSDifferential Reinforcement of Excellent Behaviors schedule abbreviation CRF or Continuous Reinforcement Schedule is - ANSWERS1 : 1 ratio of correct behavior to reward, used when first teaching a behavior FR or Fixed Ratio Reinforcement Schedule is - ANSWERS1 : X ratio of correct behavior to reward requires a set of responses to earn a reward, often accompanied by a Post Reinforcement Pause Post Reinforcement Pause follows reinforcement in _____ schedule - ANSWERSFixed Ratio (FR) reinforcement Post Reinforcement Pause definition - ANSWERSthe dip in performance before the next set of responses VR or Variable Ratio Schedule is - ANSWERSwhen the # of correct responses necessary for reinforcement varies and is not set, AKA Intermittent Reinforcement Schedule The best reinforcement schedule to maintain behavior over time - ANSWERSVariable Ratio (VR) Schedule is (best/worst) for maintaining behavior over time?
