Theoretical risks and tabular asterisks: Sir Karl, Sir Ronald, and the slow progress of soft psychology.
TL;DR: For example, the authors used consistency tests of a conjectural taxometric model with 94% success with zero false negatives to estimate numerical point values, even if approximate with rough tolerances; and lacking this, ranges, orderings, secondorder differences, curve peaks and valleys, and function forms should be used.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the generality of the laws of learning
TL;DR: A review of data from the traditional learning paradigms shows that the assumption of equivalent associability is false: in classical conditioning, rats are prepared to associate tastes with illness even over very long delays of reinforcement, but are contraprepared to associated tastes with footshock.

Are Theories of Learning Necessary
TL;DR: All statements about the nervous system are theories in the sense that they are not expressed in the same terms and could not be confirmed with the same methods of observation as the facts for which they are said to account.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theory of cognitive development: The control and construction of hierarchies of skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-stage model of memory trace formation: a role for "noisy" brain states.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the strong excitatory drive brought about by the sharp wave-concurrent population bursts during consummatory behaviors, immobility, and slow wave sleep may be sufficient for the induction of long-term synaptic modification in the initiator neurons of the CA3 region and in their targets in CA1.

Book
The Mentality of Apes
TL;DR: Koehler's analysis of the intelligence of higher primates marked a turning point in the psychology of thinking and the continuing struggle between behaviorism and cognitive psychology as discussed by the authors, but it was largely ignored for decades because it violated the conventional wisdom that animal behavior is simply the result of instinct or conditioning.
Book
Psychology from the Standpoint of a Behaviorist
TL;DR: Wozniak as mentioned in this paper describes the early elaboration of the theory of reflex, habit, and implicit response in the early stages of the development of the early development of behaviourism.
