ABC of learning

Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

Any stimulus present in the environment before the behavior

Antecedent

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

Anything the dog does

Behavior

Perfectly

Anything that happens in result of the behavior

Consequence

Procedure of with holding reinforcers that maintain behavior

Extinction

Behavior temp gets worse when a previously rewarded behavior isn't rewarded

Extinction Burst

Behavior affected by extinction can recover due to trigger

Spontaneous recovery

Transient Increase

Spontaneous recovery

Term used for specific trainer defined responses wanted

Criteria Selection

Over rewarding too many steps at a time

Temporary Criteria

Final goal should be trained to higher level of reliability

Permanent criteria

How fast they sit

Latency

How long they sit

Duration of response

Rewards for every behavior

Continuous reinforcement

Different rates of reinforcement

Continuous, variable, limited, differential, random

Reward not given everytime

Random Reinforcement

Concentrating of rewarding based on criteria

Differential reinforcment

Large unexpected reward

Jackpot

Marks a behavior as rewardable, is a promise

Secondary reinforcer

Clicker training

Nonemotional, quick, unique response

can be reduced to smaller components

Complex behaviors

using hand to physically move the dog into position

Modeling

Getting the dog to elicit a position

Luring

Animal taught to touch an object with a body part

Target

Wait until the behavior is offered spontaneously

Capturing behavior

reward dog for successive approximations of desired behaviors

Shaping

Break down behavior into small pieces

successive approximations

Each component is taught separately then combined together

Chaining

Learning from a newly acquired step of behavior to an already learned

Backwards chaining

High probability behavior-- opportunity to engage in desirable activity

Premack principle

Stimulus, command, signal, request

Cue

Cues already present and can be used to teach

environmental cues

most important detail can be covered up by the present

Overshadowing

previously learned cue conflicts with the new one

Blocking

More noticeable to the dog

Salience

Referring to several dimensions of how a dog responds to a cue

Stimulus control

Dogs need to _____ between relevant and other stimuli

discriminate

Working on the behavior in multiple locations

Generalization

Coincidental learning of some irrelevant behavior along with the desired one

Superstitious behavior

Dogs are _________ learners

Contextual

Law of simplicity

Law of Parsimony / Occams Razor

Documenting problem behavaior

When, duration, intensity, who, where, quality

Instructional formating

Goal-plan-do it-evaluate-revisions-goal achieved

Four categories of canine behavior

Useful, critical, nuisance, dangerous

ability to stop, stun, diminish behavior

Punishment

causes a pause in behavior

Interrupter

Behaviorists

Work with positive and negative punishment and positive and negative reinforcement

4 piece problem

Environment, problem, dog, owner

Helm

Health, environmental enrichment, leadership, management

YESTRAIN (YES)

Yield, eliminate trigger, systemic desensitization

YESTRAIN (TRAIN)

Take away reward Reward Incompatible behavior acclimation improve by association not much nasty stuff

Yeild

Give in

Eliminate the trigger

Take away the cause

Systemic Desensitization

Gradually increase behaviors

Take away reward

Extinction

Reward incompatible behavior

Alternate behaviors

Acclimation

Habituation

Improve the association

Counter conditioning

nasty stuff

something dogs dislike to decrease behavior

identify what you want instead of what you don't

Rephrase

dfsg

Figure out how prevent the dog from being rewarded for the unwanted behaviors

Manage

figure out how to constantly reward for the desired behavior

Train

Bungee stay

move away and back toward dog when teaching stay
