Abstract

The second of two parts of this article extends a mathematical theory of non-symbolic learning and conditioning to cases where reward and punishment are involved. The preceding results are generalized to the case where stimuli and responses are related psychophysically, thus constituting a theory of transfer, generalization, and discrimination.
