When the animal presses the lever or performs a certain behaviour it may be rewarded or punished. Is your computer a Skinner box?

Burrhus Frederic Skinner (March 20, 1904 – August 18, 1990) was an American psychologist, behaviourist, author, inventor, and social philosopher. Considering free will to be an illusion, Skinner saw human action as dependent on consequences of previous actions, a theory he would articulate as the principle of reinforcement: If the consequences to an action are bad, there is a high chance the action will not be repeated; if the consequences are good, the probability of the action being repeated becomes stronger.

The Skinner box, also known as an operant conditioning chamber, is a device used to objectively record an animal’s behaviour in a compressed time frame. An animal can be rewarded or punished for engaging in certain behaviours, such as lever pressing (for rats) or key pecking (for pigeons).
