Abstract

The present work is an experience report regarding research, which aimed to analyze the behavior of a virtual mouse using the Sniffy program using concepts from Skinner's radical behaviorism. The Psychology course students computed the data observed in the Faculty's laboratory with the aim of relating theory to the practice of behavior. Four stages were analyzed: Operant level, Feeder training, Modeling and Extinction to then verify behavioral changes in a guinea pig/rodent during a determined time. Changes in the animal's behavior were observed throughout the research, and it was induced by the reinforcing stimulus, which confirms the theory that a behavior can be manipulated if there is an interest in doing so.
