Rat in a Skinner box, an experimental space used in behavioral studies. Developed by Burrhus Frederic Skinner, the animal within the box can be studied while isolated from variables and influences in the environment and subjected to specific conditions. The box contains a lever and a small tray outside the chamber. This lever is pressed by the animal to gain an award that is dropped into the tray, such as pellets of rat food, or to avoid a form of punishment, such as an electric shock.
