Simulate a wide range of learning phenomena that are typically discussed psychology of learning courses. Explore all facets of operant and classical conditioning by training Sniffy using virtual food as reinformcement. The simple user interface enables you to set up events in Sniffy's operant chamber (skinny box) in much the same way research psychologist set up events for real animals."
Meet SNIFFY, THE VIRTUAL RAT! Using this CD-ROM and lab manual, you'll get a hands-on experience in setting up and conducting experiments that demonstrate the phenomena of classical and operant conditioning using Sniffy the digital rat. Sniffy includes 40 exercises that cover every major phenomena typically covered in a Psychology of Learning course. The CD-ROM comes with a Lab Manual that walks you through the steps necessary to set up classical and operant conditioning experiments that closely resemble the experiments discussed in learning texts. Throughout each, a series of "Mind Windows" allows you to visualize how Sniffy's experiences in the chamber produce psychological changes.
