Thorndike's famous work involved using a puzzle box to study animal learning and behavior. He would place a hungry animal in a box with a simple latch mechanism and food outside the box.

Through trial and error, animals would learn how to open the latch faster and faster, demonstrating learning and the law of effect (behavior that is followed by pleasant consequences is more likely to be repeated in the future).
