## Description

Bring the theories of learning to life using SNIFFY, THE VIRTUAL RAT! Instructors praise Sniffy, a realistic digital rat in an operant chamber (Skinner Box), for his ability to give students hands-on experience in setting up and conducting experiments that demonstrate the phenomena of classical and operant conditioning. Users begin by training Sniffy to press a bar to obtain food. Then they progress to studies of more complex learning phenomena. Throughout each, a series of "Mind Windows" enables students to visualize how Sniffy's experiences in the chamber produce the psychological changes that their textbooks discuss in connection with learning. Available on a cross-platform CD-ROM, the Lite version of Sniffy includes twenty-three exercises that cover the essential phenomena of learning psychology, making it equally appropriate for psychology of learning and introductory psychology courses. The CD-ROM comes with a Lab Manual that walks users through the steps necessary to set up classical and operant conditioning experiments that closely resemble the experiments discussed in learning texts. (Screen shots are included for both Macintosh and Windows users.) The manual also includes instructions on how to print or e-mail results so that Sniffy can become part of students' homework assignments and term papers.

Review: Very good simulation - Its not a particularly interesting simulation, but it gets the job done. Sniffy is just a virtual mouse that never gets full that you can run the gambit of classical & operant conditioning experiments on. It can be a lot of fun when accompanied by the manual. Kinda buggy, but only when you start really messing around with it. Good for class. Makes you want a real rat in the end! Beware! (
Review: Confusing title & description = wasted time & money - The product name AND description makes it sound like the book comes with the CD. Note to anyone who buys this: THE USED BOOKS DO NOT COME WITH THE CD!!! The book is USELESS without the CD and you will have to buy an entirely NEW BOOK to get the CD! Save yourself and hassle and just buy the new one the first time. I would never recommend this used product. Completely useless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great!
*by J***Y on September 27, 2013*

I didn't realize that it was the Lite version, so I technically ordered the wrong one, but my instructor worked with me on that. It is a great textbook and the CD-ROM is pretty cool. Getting Sniffy to push the lever down through Operant Conditioning makes the user feel like an unbeatable champ!
