Detailed explanation-2: -Thorndike would place a cat in a puzzle box that had a small lever on one side. The cat could only get out by pressing the lever. Thorndike would then place a piece of meat outside the box to encourage the cat to escape, and time how long it would take the cat to get out of the box.
Detailed explanation-3: -Edward Thorndike’s Law of Effect Thorndike’s S-R theory uses a cat learning example in which the animal must escape a “puzzle box” by pressing a lever. The cat accomplishes this task and learns by associating the action of pressing the lever (S) with the door’s opening (R).
