Which B. F. Skinner invention allowed him to train subjects through operant conditioning?

Answer
A
cumulative recorder
B
operant chamber
C
pigeon box
D
cat puzzle box

Explanation

Skinner developed the operant chamber, also called a Skinner box, to study and shape behavior through operant conditioning. It allowed an animal to make a response, such as pressing a lever, and receive a consequence such as food. The cumulative recorder measured response rates, but it was not the chamber used to train subjects.
