ABSTRACT

As you read this chapter, you should imagine yourself in New Haven in the spring of 1952. Ruth Hays, Clark L. Hull's secretary, has just brought you into Hull's office and introduced you as a group of psychologists visiting the Institute of Human Relations at Yale. Because of his infirmity, Hull is seated, with his foot up on a stool and his cane leaning against his chair. On a table at his elbow is a stacked set of gray, cloth-bound notebooks.
