Failure of the Interaction Paradigm as a Test of Hull Vs Spence (original) (raw)

Psychological Reports, 1967

Abstract

The interaction paradigm, frequently used as a test of Hull vs Spence, is held to be biased against Hull for several reasons: (1) Black (1965) has demonstrated that Spence could account for either outcome. (2) The probability of rejecting Hull is not controlled. (3) The 2 × 2 design minimizes the chances of finding for Hull. (4) One of Hull's postulates is disregarded. A suggestion is made for a better design to study the pertinent empirical relations
