Explanation:

• Question 7: A Skinner box is a chamber (usually for animals) with a bar or key. When the animal manipulates (presses the bar or pecks the key), it can get a reward (like food). It's used in operant - conditioning studies.
• Question 8: A reinforcer is defined as an event that increases the frequency of the behavior that it follows. A conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are related to classical conditioning. Operant behavior is the behavior itself, not the event that increases its frequency.

Answer:

• Question 7: Chamber containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a reward
