Mice were one of the main animals used in operant conditioning. I believe Skinner used mice for the following reasons:
- Mice are not known to be smart, so people will be more surprised to hear the data that was collected from this experiment.
- Mice are small, and therefore the box was able to be small as well.
- Mice are easy to obtain.
If you click here, you will be taken to an article to explain the experiment with mice and operant conditioning.
