- The document describes an experiment conducted by E.L. Thorndike to understand animal learning and behavior. In the experiment, a cat was confined to a box with food outside to understand how it would learn to escape through trial and error to access the food.
- Thorndike observed that the cat persistently tried random movements to exit the box until it eventually learned the proper way to open the door by eliminating incorrect responses and fixing the right response through repeated practice.
