Did psychologist BF Skinner raise his daughter in a 'Skinner Box'? With Mr. Talkington at the controls, by the time credits roll viewers will feel like they were...
No, for the rat the Skinner box is usually quite a welcome environment - one in which they can earn food that is not available elsewhere. I work with "Skinner boxes" or operant chambers and I usually find that once the rats learn what the box is for, they go in quite readily. Countrary to popular belief, punishment and/or aversive stimuli were rare and are even rarer in today's labs. Most negative rumors regarding operant chambers were spread by anti-Skinner propagandists like Ayn Rand.
