The act of encouraging an animal to perform a desired behaviour by the static placement of a reinforcer.
Baiting
1 of 16
An event marker that identifies the desired response and 'bridges' the time between the response and the delivery of the reinforcer.
Bridging stimulus
2 of 16
The trainer waits for the animal to perform the desired behaviour and then reinforces as soon as the behaviour is performed.
Capture
3 of 16
The process of combining multiple behaviours into a continuous sequence linked together by cues, and maintained by a reinforcer at the end of the chain.
Chaining
4 of 16
A noisemaker.
Clicker
5 of 16
A stimulus that elicits a behaviour. Can be verbal, physical or environmental.
Cue
6 of 16
The weakening of behaviour through non-reinforcement or 'ignoring' the behaviour.
Extinction
7 of 16
If a previously reinforced behaviour is not reinforced, the animal will increase the intensity or frequency of the behaviour in an attempt to earn the reinforcement again. A characteristic of extinction.
Extinction burst
8 of 16
A mega-reward given after a particularly exceptional effort.
Jackpot
9 of 16
A hands-off method of guiding the animal through a behaviour.
Luring
10 of 16
Hands-on training that involves physical manipulation of the animal to perform a desired behaviour then reinforcing it.
Moulding
11 of 16
Generalisation of training by practising behaviours in a variety of situations with different levels of distraction.
Proofing
12 of 16
A stimulus which when presented to an animal, increases the likelihood of a behaviour occurring.
Reinforcer
13 of 16
The value of a stimulus to the animal.
Salience
14 of 16
Reinforcing successive appropriate approximations of a desired behaviour.
Shaping
15 of 16
Any behaviours that get the individual closer to the desired behaviour.
