CPDT-KA Comprehensive Study Questions With 100% Correct Answers 2024 What is a Punisher - Correct Answer-something the learner will work to avoid and diminishes likelihood behavior will repeat Primary Reinforcers - Correct Answer-food, reproductive opportunity, water, physical and emotional security, sometimes play Secondary Reinforcer - Correct Answer-The stimulus is paired with or predicting a primary reinforcer, EX: clicker predicting food Tertiary Reinforcer - Correct Answer-A behavior or stimulus that has been paired with or predicts a secondary reinforcer; helps create behavior chains Stimulus definition - Correct Answer-Something that elicits a behavior Response definition - Correct Answer-A behavior elicited by a stimulus Consequence - Correct Answer-What occurs in response to the learner's behavior (i.e. a reinforcer, punisher, nothing). Varies depending on the learner Counter- Conditioned Stimulus - Correct Answer-A stimulus/response that has a new, redefined meaning than previously learned Sensitization - Correct Answer-To become hyper aware or responsive to a stimulus Desensitization - Correct Answer-To become less aware/sensitive of a stimulus through a protocol or intentional practice Adaptation - Correct Answer-Physical/sensory systems have been fatigued Habituation - Correct Answer-To become less aware/sensitive to a stimulus through "been there, done that" and stimulus was/is always present in full force. Overlearning - Correct Answer-Practicing until lesson is understood no matter how information is presented Poisoned Cue - Correct Answer-When negative association has been attached to a cue Eustress - Correct Answer-"Good" stress--learner is primed and ready to engage in learning, is a pleasant state of arousal Distress - Correct Answer-"Bad" stress--learner is overwhelmed and overloaded with stress hormones Consequences of distress - Correct Answer-dogs will show calming signals, have lowered problem-solving ability Elicited behavior - Correct Answer-involuntary/reflexive/emotional behavior What type of training can be used to change behavior that is elicited? - Correct Answer- Classical Conditioning Emitted behavior - Correct Answer-A voluntary choice behavior When training through operant learning/conditioning we are looking for - Correct Answer-Emitted Behavior Extinction definition - Correct Answer-Decreasing/extinguishing (frequency) of a conditioned behavior by removing reinforcement Extinction Burst definition - Correct Answer-Where behavior increases in frequency/intensity early during extinction Spontaneous Recovery definition - Correct Answer-"backsliding" in recover/extinction What is the Premack Principle - Correct Answer-A more likely behavior can reinforce a less likely behavior Grandma's Law - Correct Answer-AKA Premack Principle "Eat your peas and then you can have ice cream" is an example of using the ____________ - Correct Answer-Premack Principle Torndike's Law of Effect - Correct Answer-Behaviors 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) - Correct Answer-1) 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 - Correct Answer-visceral/emotional/reflexive associations in LLW, an example of -R is: - Correct Answer-pressure from leash correction stops when leash is loose in LLW, an example of -P is: - Correct Answer-forward motion of walk ends when dog pulls Prompting definition - Correct Answer-a verbal or physical trigger to start a behavior The pro's of prompting - Correct Answer-helps elicit the behavior quickly The con's of prompting - Correct Answer-can accidentally train the prompt to be part of the cue Fading definition - Correct Answer-Decreasing the intensity of the prompt Fading is necessary to avoid - Correct Answer-the prompt for a cue becoming part of the cue Luring definiton - Correct Answer-using the dog's nose to get their body to follow, usually uses food to get the dog to follow the pro's of Luring - Correct Answer-creates an almost built-in hand signal, teaches the behavior quickly The con's of Luring - Correct Answer-without proper fading of the treat the dog can become dependent on the presence of the treat Targeting - Correct Answer-provides a location goal for the dog The pro's of Targeting - Correct Answer-easy to use to teach more complex behaviors once core mechanism is taught The con's of Targeting - Correct Answer-dog can become confused, some dogs are sensitive about using their nose or paws Modeling/Molding - Correct Answer-Touching/manipulating the dog to get them to do a behavior The pro's of modeling - Correct Answer-can be helpful for stoic dogs/dogs who are reluctant to follow a lure or target The con's of modeling - Correct Answer-dog 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 - Correct Answer-catching the dog while they are doing the behavior and reinforcing it The pro's of capturing - Correct Answer-useful for training behaviors dogs do naturally/spontaneously like sneezing The con's of capturing - Correct Answer-requires vigilance from trainer Shaping definiton - Correct Answer-Incremental criteria shifts that allows to teach complex behaviors The pro's of Shaping - Correct Answer-dog has better understanding of cue because they had to think through and decide to take each step The con's of Shaping - Correct Answer-time consuming CRF is short for - Correct Answer-Continuous Reinforcement Schedule abbreviation FR is short for - Correct Answer-Fixed Ratio schedule abbreviation VR is short for - Correct Answer-Variable Ratio schedule abbreviation FI is short for - Correct Answer-Fixed Interval schedule abbreviation VI is short for - Correct Answer-Variable Interval schedule abbreviation DRH is short for - Correct Answer-Differential High Response Rate schedule abbreviation DRL is short for - Correct Answer-Differential Low Response Rate schedule abbreviation DRI is short for - Correct Answer-Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior schedule abbreviation DRO is short for - Correct Answer-Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors schedule abbreviation DRE is short for - Correct Answer-Differential Reinforcement of Excellent Behaviors schedule abbreviation CRF or Continuous Reinforcement Schedule is - Correct Answer-1 : 1 ratio of correct behavior to reward, used when first teaching a behavior FR or Fixed Ratio Reinforcement Schedule is - Correct Answer-1 : 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 - Correct Answer- Fixed Ratio (FR) reinforcement Post Reinforcement Pause definition - Correct Answer-the dip in performance before the next set of responses VR or Variable Ratio Schedule is - Correct Answer-when 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 - Correct Answer- Variable Ratio (VR) Schedule is (best/worst) for maintaining behavior over time?
