May 14, 2018 · Hull expressed learning theory in terms of quantification, by means of equations which he had derived from a method of scaling originally devised by L.L. Thurstone. In his last book, A Behavior System (1952), Hull applied his principles to the behavior of single organisms.
Via the very detailed Hull-Spence correspondence and Hull’s voluminous entries in his diaries (the Idea Books) and Research Memoranda, we can trace the development of his theory, which culminated in the publication of Principles of Behavior (Hull 1943).
