During the study he found that the rats learned that if they pressed on the lever, they would receive food (positive reinforce) (Staddon & Cerutti, 2002). On the contrary, if they did not press on the lever, no food would be received. Essentially Skinner determined that behavior can be changed or modified through the use of a desired reinforce. In the case of students, they can…
