5It is the behavioural responses to emotional motivations which are identified by clients as being problematic behaviours. In some cases, these are entirely normal.
Behavioural responses to these emotions are cause for concern when the emotional motivations are present due to:
- [blank_start]Compromised[blank_end] physical or cognitive health
- [blank_start]Miscommunication[blank_end] between different species
- Environments are sub-optimal- ACompromised
- BOptimum
- CMiscommunication
- DInteraction

"an individual’s ability to remain emotionally stable and balanced"- AEmotional Stability
- BEmotional Capacity
- CEmotional Valence
7Which of the following terms matches best with the following definition:
"the level of emotional arousal that an individual can tolerate without significant or long lasting negative outcome"- AEmotional Stability
- BEmotional Capacity
- CEmotional Valence
8Which term best describes the following definition:
"describes the extent to which an emotion is positive or negative"- AEmotional Stability

- Aarousal
- Bresilience
- Cstability
- Dcapacity

10Emotional [blank_start]resilience[blank_end] = the ability to adapt to stressful situations and cope with life’s ups and downs. The word ‘resilience’ comes from the Latin ‘resilio’ meaning to bounce back. Resilience does not eliminate stress or erase life’s difficulties, but allows the animal to tackle or accept problems, live through adversity and move on with life.
- Aresilience
11Which factors are important for breeders to ensure their puppies have good emotional stability?
- Aselection of breeding stock
- Bcaring for pregnant bitches
- Cearly rearing of puppies
- DAll of the above
12Guardians of animals are a factor in the animal's emotional stability and should provide an optimal physical and social environment according to species specific needs.
They should provide the opportunity for [blank_start]beneficial[blank_end] learning:
Classical conditioning ([blank_start]socialisation[blank_end] and [blank_start]habituation[blank_end])
Operant conditioning ([blank_start]training[blank_end])
They should reward appropriate decision making in terms of selecting behavioural responses.- Abeneficial
- Bsocialisation
- Chabituation
- Dtraining
13Emotional stability depends on the individual having adequate emotional capacity.
- ATrue
- BFalse

18What term best suits the following definition:
The capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.- AEmotional Intelligence
- BEmotional Awareness
- CEmotional Understanding
19when fear-anxiety is involved the behavioural responses are strategies designed to:
take animal away from stimulus
make stimulus move away from animal
limit potential damage that could be caused by stimulus
by
increasing distance between animals and trigger and/or increasing information known about trigger.- ATrue
- BFalse
20Which response describes the following:
The aim of this response is to increase distance from and decrease interaction with the trigger. This is achieved by influencing the trigger to take action.- ARepulsion (fight)
- BAvoidance (flight)
- CAppeasement
- DBehavioural inhibition
21The aim of Avoidance ([blank_start]flight[blank_end]) is to increase [blank_start]distance[blank_end] from and decrease [blank_start]interaction[blank_end] with the trigger
• This is achieved by the individual taking action to achieve these aims
• The ability to utilise this strategy is clearly very context dependent
• Many of these responses lead to behaviours which are reported as problematic by owners or by society including:
• bolting on walks if there are [blank_start]loud[blank_end] sounds such as gunshots
• moving away from [blank_start]people[blank_end] who want to engage with the pet
• taking a wide berth around other [blank_start]dogs[blank_end] in the park
• hiding from [blank_start]visitors[blank_end]- Aflight
- Bdistance
- Cinteraction
- Dloud
- Epeople
- Fdogs
- Gvisitors
22The aim of Appeasement (actively gathering info) is to increase availability of information about the trigger
• This is achieved by actively interacting to both gather further information about the trigger and offer signs of [blank_start]non-hostility[blank_end] in return
• Many of these responses lead to canine behaviours which are reported as problematic by owners or by society including:
• jumping up at [blank_start]people[blank_end]
• attention seeking
• [blank_start]urination[blank_end] on greeting- Anon-hostility
- Bhostility
- Cpeople
- Dtrees
- Eurination
- Fsalivating
23Behavioural inhibition is a state of behavioural [blank_start]shut down[blank_end] where the animal does not interact with the threat in any way but continues to gather information about it
Occurs if a potential threat is overwhelming in terms of
• perceived [blank_start]magnitude[blank_end] of threat
• [blank_start]speed[blank_end] of its approach
• proximity of stimulus
This strategy can be an effective way of minimising damage when other strategies are either not available or carry too high a level of risk.- Ashut down
- Bexcitement
- Cmagnitude
- Dfrequency
- Espeed
- Ftime
24In many situations information gathering is overlooked or misinterpreted
• Inhibition is often unrecognised and owners interpret the behaviour as [blank_start]being relaxed[blank_end]
• Appeasement is often misinterpreted as [blank_start]affection and trust[blank_end]- Abeing relaxed
- Baffection and trust

30Classical Conditioning involuntary or reflex responses and there's no involvement of reward
- ATrue
- BFalse
31Why is toilet training difficult to teach?
Pick the most suitable option.- AFrequent urination so owners are unable to pair unconditional and conditional stimuli consistently
- BUrination isn't voluntary
- CThere isn't an obvious difference between inside and outside
32What is the name for the learning phenomenon whereby the establishing of an association between an unconditional and a conditional stimulus is blocked by the pre-existence of an association with an alternative conditional stimulus e.g. puppy pad/ newspaper used in toilet training?
[blank_start]_________[blank_end]- ABlocking
33Punishment can create negative associations with people in the presence of urine or faecal deposits. What can it lead to?
- ANot toileting in front of people
- BEating faeces
34Why is reward unnecessary in house training (classical conditioning process)?
- ADogs shouldn't eat too many treats
- BIt can cause dogs to pee for reward
- Cphysiological pleasure associated with emptying of the full bladder or bowel is adequate
35Is classical or operant conditioning used to decrease salience, encourage positive or neutral emotional responses and reduce fear-anxiety responses?
- Aclassical
- Boperant
36Which best describes natural feline social interaction?
- Alow intensity low frequency
- Blow intensity high frequency
- Chigh intensity high frequency
- Dhigh intensity low frequency
37Stimulus followed by a response followed by a consequence are the events of which form of learning?

- Boperant
38Which are the most commonly reported operant conditioning related roblems in emotionally healthy pets?
- ALack of recall
- BPulling on the lead
- CNot getting down from furniture
- DNot releasing objects such as toys or food
39Lack of consistency, lack of patience, inappropriate response selection, poor selection of cue, poor timing of delivery of cue, poor selection of consequence and poor training environments are the main reasons why operant training goes wrong.
- ATrue
- BFalse
40Classical conditioning and operant conditioning are involved in establishing appropriate behavioural responses and Classical conditioning is also involved in establishing positive emotional responses.
- ATrue
- BFalse
41Kittens and puppies that are ill may be isolated from adequate socialisation and habituation and may develop negative associations with certain forms of handling due to the necessity for medication and nursing intervention. This is an a link between physical and mental health due to:
- Adevelopmental reasons
- Bimmediate reasons
- Clearned reasons
- Demotional reasons
42[blank_start]Immediate[blank_end] links between mental health and physical are cases where underlying dx is directly reponsible for the behaviour change and therefore a symptom of the physical condition, it may be obvious or subtle.
[blank_start]Learned[blank_end] links between mental and physical health are when there's an onest of "aggressive" repsonces to stimuli whcih have neen linked with pain through association, link tends to be decreasingly obvious with time due to generalisation.
[blank_start]Emotional[blank_end] links are the outward manifestation of behavioural change is dependent on the threshold of response to the stimulus and the salience of that stimulus.- AImmediate
- BLearned
- CEmotional
43What are the components of pain?
- ASensory
- BEmotional
- CCognitive
- DMotor
- EReflex
44What is the long term consequence after an acute pain episode that caused aggression?
- Aclassical conditioning and associative learning
- Boperant conditioning
- Coperant conditioning and associative learning
45Why is appropriate pre med and handling during induction essential?
- Apain before/during/after surgery is a risk factor for chronic post surgical pain
- BNegative emotional state influences perception of acute pain
- CNegative emotional state influences risk of chronic post surgical pain
46Pain is what the patient expresses it is and may cause behavioural changes e.g. reluctance to walk on certain [blank_start]surfaces[blank_end], [blank_start]gait[blank_end] changes, response to manipulation.
Style of handling and animal's emotional health may alter animal's response during [blank_start]physical[blank_end] exam.
[blank_start]Clinical[blank_end] exam looks at body language and context.
Pain assessment is difficults, [blank_start]house visits[blank_end] may be beneficial and [blank_start]videos[blank_end] can supplement.
Chronic pain shows as lameness, locomotor defect, excessive licking/grooming, sit position, toileting behaviour and other [blank_start]repetitive[blank_end] behaviours.- Asurfaces
- Bgait
- Cphysical
- DClinical
- Ehouse visits
- Fvideos
- Grepetitive
47Appeasement behaviour is attention seeking.
- ATrue
- BFalse
48Owners who ignore or [blank_start]reject[blank_end] appeasement behaviours can cause increased [blank_start]anxiety[blank_end] and frustration in the dog, in animals with chronic pain, it can [blank_start]exacerbate[blank_end] pain.
- Areject
- Banxiety
- Cfear
- Dexacerbate
- Edecrease
49The aim of history taking is to ascertain whether the animal is emotionally stable. Do alterations in its environment, either social or physical, cause it to feel uncomfortable?
It is important to use a [blank_start]time line[blank_end] looking at birth, date of acquisition, date admitted to rehoming facility, medical, behavioural social and physical significant events e.g. cattery visit, urine in house, sibling died...
A [blank_start]house plan[blank_end] should also be used (particularly important in [blank_start]feline[blank_end] cases).
Investigate potential social stressors:
intraspecies relationships
interactions with unfamiliar conspecifics
social interactions with humans.
If multi-dog household, if 1 is displaying behavioural problems you should assess [blank_start]all dogs[blank_end].- Atime line
- Bhouse plan
- Cfeline
- Dcanine
- Eall dogs
- Faffected dogs
50What is the first stage of treatment to modify fear-anxiety related behaviour?
- Areduce residual negative emotion
- Bidentify triggers
- Cmodify human interactions and activities
- Dalter the emotional response
51The second phase of behavioural therapy is to alter the emotional response and this is achieved by:
firstly, where possible, [blank_start]neutralising[blank_end] the animal’s reaction to the problematic stimuli through [blank_start]desensitisation[blank_end]
then, [blank_start]changing[blank_end] the animal’s perception through forming new and positive associations through the process of [blank_start]counter-conditioning[blank_end].- Aneutralising
- Bchanging
- Cdesensitisation
- Dcounter-conditioning
52The Development of a fear-related behaviour:
An [blank_start]unconditioned[blank_end] stimulus e.g. pain from an injection stimulates an unconditioned fear response.
The [blank_start]conditioned[blank_end] stimulus e.g. vet surgery produces a conditioned fear response.- Aunconditioned
- Bconditioned
53To change perceptions, which stage should you do first?
- Acounter conditioning
- Bdesensitisation
54For counter conditioning to be successful....
- Aanimal must be in positive emotional state
- Banimal must be desensitised to stimulus
- Ca treat must be given as a reward
- Dnegative stimulus must be causing negative emotional state
55When counter conditioning an animal, it is possible to cause the unconditioned stimulus to stimulate the conditioned response which was previously stimulated by the conditioned stimulus.
- ATrue
- BFalse
56What are the aims of altering neurochemistry?
- Apromote biogenic amines
- Bpromote catecholamines - dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin
- Creduce biogenic amines
- Dreduce catecholamines - dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin
- Epromote inhibitory neurotransmitters e.g. GABA
- Freduce inhibitory neurotransmitters e.g. GABA
57The aim of medication is to enable the animal to benefit [blank_start]more thoroughly[blank_end] from behavioural therapy. Medication is therefore appropriate in cases where emotional state is [blank_start]inhibiting[blank_end] learning,
It's suited to cases involving
[blank_start]high[blank_end] arousal
negative emotions e.g. fear/anxiety/phobia
[blank_start]compulsive[blank_end] responses- Acompulsive
- Bhigh
- Cinhibiting
- Dmore thoroughly
