Detailed explanation-1: -He placed these animals inside an operant conditioning chamber, which has come to be known as a “Skinner box” (see Figure 10). A Skinner box contains a lever (for rats) or disk (for pigeons) that the animal can press or peck for a food reward via the dispenser.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Skinner Box is a chamber, often small, that is used to conduct operant conditioning research with animals. Within this chamber, there is usually a lever or key that an individual animal can operate to obtain a food or water source within the chamber as a reinforcer.
Detailed explanation-3: -To implement his empirical approach, Skinner invented the operant conditioning chamber, or “Skinner Box", in which subjects such as pigeons and rats were isolated and could be exposed to carefully controlled stimuli.
Detailed explanation-4: -B. F. Skinner did not use puzzle boxes. Instead, he developed a device known as an operant conditioning chamber, or Skinner box.
Detailed explanation-5: -An operant conditioning chamber allows researchers to study animal behaviour and response to conditioning. They do this by teaching an animal to perform certain actions (like pressing a lever) in response to specific stimuli.
