'SHAPING a Cat to Ring a Bell for Treats -- Using Operant Conditioning'

'The key term SHAPING applies here. The trainer rewards behaviors that gradually get closer to the finally desired behavior. The technique is also called instrumental conditioning or Skinnerian conditioning -- after B.F. Skinner -- who described it. In this case a CLICKER is used prior to presenting the technique. Thus the cat gets QUICKER feedback about the correctness of the behavior performed and learns to EXPECT the positive reinforcer of food -- which is coming quickly too.'
