Animal learning and husbandry
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is habituation? | change in response due to repeated presentations of stimuli |
What is classical conditioning? | a learning process that occurs when 2 stimuli are repeatedly pairs |
UCS | the stimuli present |
UCR | reflexive response to UCS |
CS | paired with the UCS |
CR | response to CS in absence of UCS |
What is operant conditioning? | response followed by pleasant stimuli will increase and vice versa |
what does a reinforcer do to behavior? | increases behavior |
what does a punishment do to behavior? | decreases behavior |
What is a positive reinforcers? | favorable events or outcomes that are presented after the behavior |
what is a negative reinforcers? | removal of an unfavorable event or outcomes after the display of a behavior |
What is a positive punishment? | bark limiter and dogs |
What is a negative punishment? | kid has a toy being a jackwagon takes toy away to stop being a jackwagon |
what is latent learning? | exposure (but no reinforcement) facilitates faster learning later on |
What is observational (social) learning? | learned behaviors by observing other performs |
Radical behaviorism | instincts are not numerous and the ability to learn |
What happened in Garcia and Koelling study of 1966? | they found it is easier to learn associations btw biologically stimuli |
What are the different types of preparedness? | prepared, contra prepared, unprepared |
Prepared | training will be relatively easy |
contra-prepared | training will be very challenging |
unprepared | training will require moderate effort |
What is the idea of perceptive world? | stimuli must be matched to the animal's perspective world |
What are the components of effective training? | natural history, individual experiences, facility design |
Natural history | circadian or annual cycles |
Individual experiences | response to caretaker, new staff |
facility design | keepers must feel safe |
shaping | small steps progressively rewarded |
setting goals | prioritize poor candidates for chemical immobilization |
planning | staff develops a training plan with cue and criteria, define progress check ins |
implementing | roles and responsibilities |
documenting | time for keepers to make and archive notes |
evaluating | process reporting |
re-adjusting | revisit goals at regular intervals |
What does spider stand for? | setting goals, planning, implementing, documenting, evaluating, re-adjusting |
