Abstract
Two experiments, one with rats and the other with pigeons, supported the prediction that the logarithm of the rate of responding in the last fifth of a fixed interval is linearly related to the logarithm of the number of intervals to which the organism is exposed. This prediction was derived with the use of logical positivism from Hull’s law on delay of reinforcement. The support of this relation strengthens the possible role that deterministic equations can play in learning theory.
