Sniffy the virtual rat: Pro Version 2.0

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.
