How to train a cat to operate a light switch. In this video Zimba is clicker trained to operate a light switch. The clicker has previously been established as a conditioned reinforcer for operant behaviour and Zimba has earlier experience with this type of training with a clicker. The training consisted of short approximately 5 min sessions over a period of 3 days. All the training was videotaped. The total training time to get the results you see at the end of the video was 28 minutes and 34 seconds. In the beginning any approach to the switch results in a click followed by food. After approaching the switch is established contact with the switch is required for a click. Pawing the switch is preferred

Just to play devil's advocate: Why would you want to train your cat to flick a light switch?

Lured here by the APA Style Guide to Electronic References (2007). Cool video.

actually, the *click* should have become reinforcement enough so you don't need to use food. the cat should be happy enough to hear the click because it associates it with a treat

Pavlov would be proud :)
