Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Skinner box (also known as an operant conditioning chamber) is specifically designed to study operant conditioning, which is a learning process where an animal learns to associate a behavior with its consequence (reward or punishment). Respondent learning is also known as classical conditioning, which involves learning to associate a neutral stimulus with a meaningful stimulus. Observational learning involves observing and imitating the behavior of others. None of these learning processes are specifically studied using a Skinner box.
