Abstract

The strength of a test stimulus, which is just adequate to produce a response after a sub-threshold conditioning stimulus, is calculated on the basis of Rashevsky's two-factor theory as a function of the strength and duration of the conditioning stimulus. The results are compared with available data for one of a family of curves and found to be in satisfactory agreement.
