The goal of Skinner's Box, or operant conditioning chamber, was to study behaviour conditioning teaching an animal to execute specific actions, such as pushing a button or pressing a lever, as a response to a specific stimulus like a sound or a light. The animal is rewarded by the box mechanism when it performs the specific action in response to the stimulus. These boxes allow the training of animals through reward or punishment.
