operant conditioning chamber
classical experiment in operant conditioning, for example the "skinner box", "puzzle box" or operant conditioning chamber to test the effects of operant conditioning principles on rats, cats and other species. from the study of skinner box, he discovered that the rats learned very effectively if they were rewarded frequently with food. skinner also found that he could shape the rats' behavior through the use of rewards, which could, in turn, be applied to human learning as well.
