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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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! (:

1.0 out of 5 stars Actual rats are incredibly smart and trying to teach Sniffy anything was infuriating
Reviewed in Canada on 22 December 2019

This was a required purchase for one of my psychology classes, due to the university moving away from real rats. And I have to say... Sniffy is NOT a good substitute. Real rats are blindingly intelligent and Sniffy was simply awful to deal with. I understand why the university wanted to follow the replacement principle of animal ethics but I think most of the class ended up just clicking the buttons we were told to in order to generate a graph, and when the parts came up where we were supposed to shape Sniffy’s behaviour, we all gave up and skipped those questions.

It’s been literal years since I had to use this program but I can still clearly remember how awful Sniffy was. Now I’m working with real rats and the contrast is night and day. Hell, shaping mouse behaviour is easier.

The book was is good shape. But if you're trying to save money by getting a used book DON'T. My professor was nice enough to let me borrow her copy overnight to use on my computer. The good news is if you can get the CD through another source you don't need the CD to do an assignment every time. Just once to download it. Also if you have the Lite CD and the Pro book that's no good. They don't line up and Lite has WAY less assignments that Pro. Hope this was helpful and fair!
