Introduction to Psychology
Say "Hello" to our new class pet!
He's hypoallergenic, 100% sanitary, and you never have to
clean up after him, because he doesn't even go to the bathroom.
I am
excited
to introduce you to Sniffy the Virtual Rat. Sniffy lives in
an Operant Chamber and is always ready to learn. He can be
trained using both Operant and Classical Conditioning.
Students will be able to introduce a variety of stimuli in
order to teach Sniffy new behaviors. At the
direction of our
students Sniffy will learn to fear the sound of a tone, anticipate
various feeding schedules, and of course press
a lever. Students will make hypothesis, gather data, and
learn
the basic principle of Classical and Operant
Conditioning. Best of all, no actual animals
will be harmed in the conditioning of Sniffy, but don't tell Sniffy
he's a bit sensative about being only a virtual rat.
Ready
to get Started?
Let,
Jim and Dwight teach you about one of the most famous experiment in the
history of Psychology.
