A skinner rat test is a box with an electrified grid at the bottom. At one end of the cage there are 2 lights, a response lever and a little food dispenser. If the rat uses the lever for the righ light then he gets rewarded. If he gets it wrong he gets an electic shock. This experiment is used in some schools and laboratories to explore the rat's behaviour.
