An operant conditioning chamber (also known as the Skinner box) is a laboratory apparatus used to study animal behavior. The operant conditioning chamber was created by B.F. Skinner while he was a graduate student at Harvard University (studying for a master 's degree in 1930 and a doctorate in 1931). It may have been inspired by Jerzy Konorski 's studies. It is used to study both operant conditioning and classical conditioning.
